# Domino's Debuts Technology Testing Center...In a Garage

## Story

Who needs a high-tech lab run by bots when you have a garage? Domino’s is opening its own “Innovation Garage,” located alongside its corporate headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to test out new delivery methods and in-store technology, according to NRN . And no—it’s not a real garage.

While the test kitchen won’t be open to the public, the space will manage like a full-functioning Domino’s, but filled with the latest technology such as ordering kiosks, carryout trackers and GPS delivery tracking. In other words, Domino’s is pretty much telling us: “I’m not like a regular Domino’s, I’m a cool Domino’s.”.

“As a pizza company with a focus on technology, we want our team members to have a workspace that encourages experimentation and fosters an environment to take risks, test innovations and fail fast so they can bring their best cutting-edge ideas to life for the brand’s customers and stores,” Domino’s chief technology officer Kelly Garcia said in a press statement, according to NRN.

Domino’s has been on a role when it comes to testing out the latest innovative technology and incorporating it into their brand. The company recently announced e-bikes as a new way of delivering food to its loyal pizza patrons.

Domino’s, which remains at the top of the list of America’s favorite pizza chains , will open its doors to the Innovation Garage August 21. And since it’s probably a matter of time until robots take over, who knows? Today, Innovation Garage; tomorrow, the world.
