    Is there an option when ordering online?

    Likewise, I'd like to use this to supply parents, who aren't as internet savvy.

      not aware of anything, I managed to get through once but it went to voice mail and the mailbox is full :(
      I think this might end up being a publicity stunt rather than Domino's genuinely trying to help the vulnerable.

        Assume they will post on Facebook if it was https://www.facebook.com/DominosNZ/posts/10157361877522462

        To be fair, with only a single delivery per week, it not like everyone is going to need to call every day. So it may be just an initial surge that they can't handle and they will be able to do so over time. We'll see how it proceeds over time.

        But an interesting point is that I don't think it's entirely clear if deliveries like Dominos are supposed to stay open at level 4. While food deliveries like My Food Bag and HelloFresh are allowed, some news reports say UberEats and stuff are not. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/lifestyle/2020/03/takeaway-sh…

        So McDonald's and such places can't go "dark kitchen". (And McDonald's at least have said they will be closing. Interesting enough the other Restaurant Brands ones like KFC and Burger King haven't mentioned anything yet that I can find.) Domino's uses dedicated staff which I guess reduces one concern of Ubereats, random people going to a bunch of random restaurants and waiting for orders.

        But even with minimal contact there may still be additional concern of prepared food deliveries both in terms of numbers and frequencies (as most people are only likely to get enough for one meal), and the fact it it's going to be eaten without being cooked. I've seen it suggested this could be part of their efforts to convince the government to let them stay open.

          @Nil Einne: The police, first responders have gotta eat takeout. Dominos will have to open for them.

            @The Hound: I don’t think the police are going to live on dominos.

              @Joshyss: Well in any case, https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&object… pretty much confirms Domino's play/genuine attempt to help the community/whatever is not going to be allowed during level 4.

                @Nil Einne: It was probably more a ploy by dominos to try get community support to let them stay open while making them look like the nice guys. They would have known their chances were very slim and even then they would have a lot of business from everyone being at home which would easily make up for their pizzas going to the elderly.
