Title: Proxy to order Dominos Pizza with BTC
Post by: Giftsforcoins on January 31, 2013, 02:26:39 AM
The website is live and waiting for your orders!!!

As far as I can tell, all the bugs and glitches are completely gone and we've tested the site a dozen times so far. We're ready for orders :)

Order Dominos with bitcoins (http://www.pizzaforcoins.com)

All tests have gotten pizza to our door within the hour!

Note: please tip with cash as we can't add tip to the order online.

Dominos in Korea too. And Papa Johns. And Pizza Hut, although in Korea the more popular are the Korean chains ($40 pizzas from "Mr. Pizza" and $5 pizzas from "Pizza School").

Yes, Dominos and Pizza Huts are everywhere in Asia. Papa John's is not that popular yet in Malaysia and Singapore, but they're starting to gain significant ground here.

I'll post here as well I didn't realize you had posted on both threads.

It's just a simple radio button swap which I could do. If there is a demand I'll go in and do some editing

Cool thanks very much! We're working on the pizza hut coding now along with papa john's. I'll try to add as many specials as I can find. I just hope the special you're talking about is national, then it's all too easy.

Just a bit of an update for everyone, we're currently working on a solution for tipping in btc so you don't have to worry about having any cash on you at all...EVER when you're hungry :)


Title: Re: Proxy to order Dominos Pizza with BTC
Post by: the joint on February 06, 2013, 01:42:32 AM
Just tried this service.  It was only 58 minutes from the time I placed my order on the pizzaforcoins.com website until the time I had hot, fresh, Domino's pizza in my hands.

Advantages:  Easy-to-navigate site; on-screen invoice for easy payment; fast delivery!  And an extra +1 because I'm under the weather and don't feel like cooking, and this service came through in the clinch :D

Disadvantages:  A bit pricey (from what I can tell, using this service costs somewhere around $5 USD for "processing fees").  Also, tipping with BTC is still not an option, and it would be nice to see the full, expanded menu.

If three changes could be made to enhance my consumer experience, they would be:

1)  Allow tipping via BTC (I saw that you are working on this)
2)  Allow the ability to relay a typed message to the delivery driver (e.g. in my situation, I wanted the driver to call upon arrival, but there was no text field for me to request this)
3)  Expand the menu selection!  No wings?  :(

Also, a bug you might want to fix -- when I attempted to click on the on-screen invoice to submit payment, I was redirected to a new, blank tab instead of being redirected to a payment page.  Consequently, I experienced a few minutes of panic between the time that I decided to send payment directly to the Bitcoin address provided on the invoice and the time when payment was confirmed via confirmation email.  It might be useful to provide a little warning to let users know that there may be a slight delay in the time it takes to confirm payment, but as long as BTC has been sent to the correct address as provided on the invoice, there is no need to worry.  If I'm correct, it seems that you wait for 1 confirmation before confirming the order with Domino's.

Thanks for your review of our services!

In regards to fees, we only charge .1 BTC as a fee. The rest is for an ACTUAL delivery fee that domino's charges us or charges ANY customer who would pay in USD.

For your 3 Requests:
-Tipping: Yes, we are working on this. It is not an easy conversion because we have to get unique gift card amounts for each order. We are trying to come up with an easy way to do this.
-Typed message will be added today. Sorry about that not being in place.
-I will add wings to the menu tonight. :)


Again, thank you very much for your order. We greatly appreciate it!

Today was a little crazy. We hope we were able to keep all our customers happy with wait times.

Wow.  $6 in delivery fees from Domino's.  What a jip :D

I retract my comment about you being pricey.

I'll definitely use this service again.  It was a fun experience!

It took about 8 minutes for bitpay to notice my transaction payment and was starting to get a bit worried.
Then about 15min to get a confirmation.
Pizza was good, order was correct. :)

Good job! :)

I'm glad you'll keep us in mind! I'm not sure which order number you were but I actually got to talk to some of the customers today as some of the coupons didn't work in all states haha. That freaked me out a bit

When will you be adding Korea? The Korean website for Papajohns is absolutely pathetic and doesn't work, and their app can't find my address!

Hey Matthew, my partner and I read your PM and we're discussing what to do regarding that. We'll get back to you but for now we're just going to stabilize the site a bit so it's not so hectic during the day. We'll definitely keep in touch though. Maybe over the weekend we can talk?

As for the Korea and other countries... we're not expanding yet into other currencies because we haven't found a solid way of doing so. It's still on the burner though and we're always brainstorming daily.

Great! If you get Korea working, I may be your only customer, but I'll order at least once a week ^_^

The wings are a great deal on the menu I'm seeing, 0.00 BCT.  I'm not sure of the current BTC value, maybe it just needs more significant digits ;D

ETA on Pizza Hut and Papa Johns?

Haha the wings come in three sizes so you have to click an item and pick how many of it you want. The prices are based on the amount of wings you order. We figured that was easier than having three different items with different amounts on the main page.

Nothing yet but it won't take long. We are debating expanding into Canada and Australia before adding more restaurants but we haven't picked a path to take yet.

With the recent influx of orders we have some cash now to expand.

Why not follow the pizza restaurant model and franchise to local owners in different countries. Then you simply collect franchise fees and dont need to concern yourself with currency conversion ;D

We are rolling out with pizzahut US Next week and are working very hard on a canada solution. (Dominos Canada does not offer E-GiftCards and doesn't let you pre-pay on their site, so right now, its proving to be an issue.

Franchising is a great idea but currently the bitcoin community is not big enough to sustain a franchise. While we have been getting tons of publicity, traffic, and orders, our fees are low so there is not a huge profit margin. We don't want to alienate our business by being expensive.

None the less, we will be expanding to hit all corners of the globe. IT IS IN THE WORKS! Please be patient. :)

Depends on which part of Europe we mean...
I would love for pizzaforcoins.com to support Sweden(then I can brag about being able to use my BTC for food  ;D). We don't have any Domino's and neither Papa John's(?) but we do seem to have loads of Pizza Huts: http://www.pizzahut.se/restauranger/
