What is Domino's Pulse Point-of-Sale System (POS)?
The Pulse Point-of-Sale System is Domino’s proprietary [[Point-of-Sale System]] platform used to manage orders, process transactions, and synchronize front- and back-of-house operations across its global restaurant network.
Developed specifically for Domino’s, Pulse integrates order entry, payment processing, kitchen routing, customer tracking, and delivery logistics into a single, streamlined system. It is the operational nerve center of every Domino’s store, designed to handle high transaction volumes with speed and accuracy. The system is deeply integrated with Domino’s digital ordering platforms, including online, mobile, and phone-in channels, making it a critical element of the brand’s end-to-end service infrastructure.
How Pulse Works
Pulse coordinates multiple workflows simultaneously: it logs customer orders, communicates with kitchen display systems, processes payments, and tracks order status through prep, bake, and delivery stages. It supports Domino’s efficiency goals by standardizing processes across locations and enabling real-time order visibility.
Goal of Pulse POS
The goal of the Pulse system is to maintain operational consistency and order accuracy at scale. It enables Domino’s to deliver fast, reliable service while managing labor, inventory, and delivery timelines across thousands of stores with centralized data and processes.
