I stumbled today on an interesting idea on the Japanese website of Domino’s Pizza.

When you have ordered a pizza online (after a fastidious registration process, as only Japanese site have the secret), you are invited to follow in “real-time” the progression of the making of your pizza.

The video integrates your name, your order, and your geo location with a nice usage of Google Maps API. I guess this is the japanese version of the US site. A fine localization work.

The next step would be to add GPS positioning on the delivery scooters, to be able to track exactly the delivery boy during his run…
