'Dom' takes orders over the phone and checks order status, so staff can keep making the food.
Domino's has tested an AI voice assistant named Dom that answers incoming phone orders. It recognizes the caller's phone number to pull up an existing order, effectively a spoken version of the chain's well-known pizza tracker, and takes new orders by voice. Dom first appeared as a voice app back in 2014, and the phone-order test ran across roughly 20 US stores with plans to expand from there.
The reasoning is one every operator understands. Pizza orders are highly customizable, which multiplies the chance of mistakes when a stressed employee is juggling the counter and a ringing phone at the same time. Handing that call to AI protects order accuracy and frees the team to make the food. Domino's, which already takes a large majority of its US sales through digital channels, has been open about wanting to push toward being fully digital, and automating the phone is part of that path.
It is a familiar pattern: a brand looks at the inbound call, sees a task that is repetitive and error-prone under pressure, and decides it is exactly the kind of work an agent should own.
Order-by-phone has not gone away, it has become a staffing problem. The operators solving it first are the ones treating the inbound call as automatable rather than as unavoidable overhead.
Under the hood, a modern AI voice agent is nothing like the old phone tree. It answers in under a second, understands natural, interrupted, real-world speech instead of "press 1 for sales," and holds a genuine back-and-forth, including the corrections and half-sentences people actually use on the phone.
Mid-conversation it pulls context from your calendar and CRM, checks real availability, and books or reschedules on the spot. It captures the caller's name, number, and reason for calling, hands off to a human only when something genuinely needs one, and the instant the call ends it texts you a summary and logs every detail. That is the same machinery behind every deployment on this page, just pointed at a different script.
An AI receptionist answers while you work, books the job, and texts you the details, so the phone stops being a tax on the people doing the actual work.
Swap pizza for a handyman. A homeowner calls at 6pm to book a fence repair. Instead of voicemail, the agent takes the details, checks the calendar, books Saturday morning, and texts the owner a summary before the homeowner has even hung up.
The difference for a small business is that you build none of it. We do. It starts with a 30-minute intake call where we capture your services, pricing, hours, and the questions your customers ask most. We write the scripts, build and train the agent, connect your calendar and CRM, and test every flow before it touches a live caller. Most agents go live on a dedicated number within five business days, and we keep tuning as your business changes. It plugs into the tools you already use: Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, your CRM, and SMS.
Most do not ask. The voice is natural and it answers in under a second. When someone does ask, they rarely mind once the call goes smoothly and they get what they called for. The fastest way to judge it is to call our demo line and hear it yourself.
Usually five business days from your intake call. We build, train, and test it for you, then it goes live on a dedicated number, with no DIY setup on your end.
Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, your CRM, and SMS, so it can check availability and book in real time and keep your records current after every call.
The brands above had teams and budgets. You get the same capability, done for you, on your number, in about five days.
