Pizza without the GUI


Well this is priceless… Someone has written (apparently a while back) a console-based front-end for Domino’s QuikOrder web-based system allowing you to order pizza with a simple command-line. Here‘s the site. Here’s an example of a command to order (this assumes that you have initially set up an account with Domino’s):

pizza_party -p -m 1 medium

This will order 1 medium pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms.

But just think of the options… you could plug this command in as a cron-job and run it daily (or even multiple times a day!) More pizza quicker and even less human interaction! What’s not to like??

Update: Users beware! There’s a multiple vulnerabilities post on Insecure.org!

    heh. Yeah I love it.

    The in-store system looks ancient, all ACII text based. Their web front end must be integrated with it, I think the web orders wind up on their old displays

    That is sweet. No two ways about it. Presumably there is a way to trigger a predefined script by texting a simple command from your phone, like “pizza”
