Seems unlikely that each step is actually updated by the workers themselves. I’d put money on an algorithm. The button or tablet they’d have to use would to signify completion would just get loaded with schmutz. Plus they’d be likely to forget to update during peak hours. A foot pedal might work.

Obviously Twitter is not the best for long form, but did you scroll through the replies from the first tweet that she added? She literally explains how it works, the options workers have, etc. No need to speculate haha
- tomcam 4y agoI did now and you're right. Thanks.
- slackdog 4y ago> Seems unlikely that each step is actually updated by the workers themselves. I’d put money on an algorithm. Orders are automatically added to the "prep" stage, and again to the post-oven "quality check" stage. But they aren't automatically moved from the prep stage to the oven stage; I know this because I've had domino orders that get stuck in the prep stage for half an hour and when I show up to pick up my pizza anyway, they admit they haven't started making it yet. The pizza getting added to the oven stage means the workers actually did put the pizza in the oven, or at least told the computer they did so.

- amflare 4y agoI worked in fast food during school and there are absolutely physical buttons[0]. They are tiny little pill buttons under a plastic label. They don't get as dirty as you think, mostly because the sanitary requirements in food prep mean that things are never allowed to ever truly get dirty.

- tomcam 4y agoOF COURSE I'VE SEEN THESE! D'oh! Thank you.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoDominos kitchens are viewable from the lobby, just go look at it on google images. You don't forget it because the same screen is your personal work tracker that contains the order you are making right now. You need to mark it as complete in order to see your next task.
- tomcam 4y agoTIL,thanks.
- pessimizer 4y agoYou don't think people in kitchens can use buttons, because they would get dirty?
- tomcam 4y agoWhat? You're hallucinating. I said no such thing.
- tomcam 4y agoUPDATE: Pretty neat. These buttons exist, they're used, and I now realize I've seen them myself. Extensive downvotes not surprising to me but it was very cool learning about it. Learned a bunch of things that have been at the back of my mind for years.
- nateb2022 4y agoKeyboards are frequently used at most Domino's locations. The entire keyboard is covered in a disposable plastic wrap that is changed as needed. Unless you have a lot of sauce on your fingers, your hands are typically pretty clean and the buttons/keyboards don't get very dirty.
