Thankfully, Tim graciously agreed to grant me an interview to get to the bottom of this mess and be able to answer definitively, “Is the Dominos Pizza Tracker Real?” Dominos’ answer is yes, yes the Pizza Tracker is real. Tim made it very clear during our conversation that to Dominos, timing is everything.
While Domino’s insists that it’s legit. A 2014 Huffington Post article asserted that it was real, but pointed out that stores sometimes gamed the system to make it look as though “it’s running more efficiently than it really is”. The tracker is legit — but only as legit as the people in the store let it be.
The tracker is timed according to the corporation’s standards and collects data for rating the Domino’s locations. However, it reportedly doesn’t take into account the practical fact that some delivery areas and times are simply more challenging than others, and there’s not always enough drivers available.
The fact is, there are a lot of factors that happen in a store that the tracker can’t always account for, and so your mileage may vary with the online tracker for those reasons. We contacted Domino’s Pizza and asked if it was in fact real or whether it was just set to a timer.
How many deliveries can a Domino’s driver take at a time?
Because delivery drivers can “game the system,” so to speak. By Domino’s policies, for example, no driver is supposed to take more than two or three deliveries at a time (as memory serves). Corporate policy is very emphatic about that.
The biggest problem is that because, say, Bob just got back from delivering orders and signed back in, any online order that he was delivering (as Bob) is now marked by the Tracker as having been delivered.
So Bob may still has your order in his car (and, quite possibly, another one on his route to deliver before he gets to your house), despite the fact that the Tracker has so graciously informed you that your pizza has already been delivered.

Rather, they’re keyed into corporate standards. In other words, each store is eventually evaluated on these widespread, not always applicable standards. Each order that’s placed has a timer attached to it tracking the time between when it’s placed and when it’s marked as completed.
