The DoorDash Pi Day pizza ordering experience is being rolled out by the brand to offer consumers a series of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered customization features to take advantage of this month. The promotional experience transforms detailed pizza menus into simple, intuitive ones that will also prioritize visuals to help users better understand their order. The experience is positioned as being a simple solution for merchants to adopt and could also help to accelerate the ordering of pizzas this Pi Day (March 14).
Head of Merchant Product Brian Tolkin commented on the DoorDash Pi Day pizza ordering experience saying, "Pizza is one of the most customizable items on any menu — and one of the hardest to order online. We built this experience so customers can create the exact type of pizza they’re craving in a way that feels effortless. When ordering is intuitive, customers explore more of the menu, which can create growth opportunities for merchants."
