I thought the idea was completely idiotic when I first saw it\u2026<\/p>\n

We have yet to find a cure for cancer. But thanks to the wonders of technology, you can order a ninth-rate pizza from Domino’s by simply tweeting an emoji.<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, Domino’s went off the deep end with a promotion that would allow their customers to have their favorite pizza rushed to their house by tweeting a pizza emoji to the Domino’s twitter handle.<\/p>\n

At the time, I said the Domino’s easy order promotion wasn’t the stupidest thing I had ever seen in my life. But it was close.<\/p>\n

Frankly, I’m not sure why anyone would want to eat Domino’s at all\u2014whether it’s ordered by emoji or rotary phone.<\/p>\n

But for whatever reason, we found ourselves in the center of a bonafide pizza bull market. Thanks to Domino’s, cheap pizza was thriving. So was the stock.<\/p>\n

The numbers don’t lie.<\/p>\n

Domino’s Pizza stock has doubled since the beginning of 2015. But it gets even better \u2013 shares are up more than 1,000% over the past six years. For reference, the S&P 500 has gained about 75% over that same timeframe.<\/p>\n

To be fair, we’ve successfully traded Domino’s stock over the past few years here at the Rude. But I was wrong to blast the company’s emoji-based ordering platform. As it turns out, the Domino’s announcement two years ago was much more than a cheesy marketing ploy. It was the culmination of a complete re-imagination of how the company operates.<\/p>\n

You see, Domino’s is no longer your standard fast food giant hocking mediocre pizza. As some experts have started to notice, Dominos is transforming into a tech company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company decided that instead of being a pizza company that had technology, it would become a technology company that sold pizza, with a goal of selling 50 percent of its pizzas through digital sales by 2015,\u201d PC Mag reports. \u201cThe next step was to change the infrastructure, which began with the creation of a \u2018pizza profile,’ essentially letting customers save preferences, payment information, and location, moving from 25 clicks to five clicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Domino’s made ordering pizza dead simple for anyone with a computer, tablet, or smart phone. Anyone with a busy schedule, hungry kids, or no patience could get a pizza sent their way at the push of a button. No one else in the biz could claim this level of convenience. And it worked!<\/p>\n

Remember the company’s goal to generate 50% of its sales from digital sources? It only took five years. As of 2016, Domino’s was racking up $2 billion from e-commerce sales. That’s more than half its revenue.<\/p>\n

The amazing Domino’s comeback story doesn’t end here. The pizza king is now venturing into the future with robot delivery.<\/p>\n

I’m not joking\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cDomino’s has just inked a partnership with Starship Technologies to begin using its \u2018personal delivery devices’ this summer in Hamburg, Germany.\u201d Tech Crunch reports. \u201cIf all goes well there, Domino’s and Starship intend \u2026read more<\/a> <\/p>\n
