Q&A With Ray Pasquale of Unified Office: Moving VoIP Into The Future
Submitted by Rick Saia on
How did your work with Domino's Pizza franchises begin?
Domino's found us through an intermediary that had sold them PBXs over the years. … The first group that we went to market with at Domino's that found us was [Los Angeles-based] MAR Pizza … They were 75 units back then a couple of years ago and I think they're well on the way to over 100. They didn’t believe VoIP could work. They wanted it to work; they knew that they were missing calls [for orders]. If the boys are coming over to watch the game and you can't get through, you're going to call Little Caesar's [or another pizza shop].
These guys … knew instinctively they were missing calls during peak periods. So, the first order of business was to prove to them that VoIP could work. They tried other VoIP [solutions] and it couldn't work.
For several months, we sat in LA … and [a MAR executive] said "Wow! Your stuff is working." And not only that, during that … since we're a managed service, were constantly monitoring our customers in real time.
