I was very very sad when I learned the Domino’s pizza tracker is entirely fake (based solely on time since order), but I have to commend whatever engineer suggested doing that instead of spending $200 million building out the infrastructure to support it being real

And credit where credit is due: an operational machine that can guarantee pizzas are ready based on time since order is perhaps even more impressive

Here’s the patent for it they tout on the site. They pretty much patented their very unique data infrastructure. 11/10 marketing.
