What do I do if Pete the Pizzamaker hasn't started cooking my 'za with 5 minutes until delivery? Trust the process?

>that brief time they told you the name of the worker making it
You never fucked up my pizza once, Tom.

How does this even work, does a worker update the pizza or do they use programmed cook times to ruse you?
I ordered from Papa Gino's online once and the pizza was delivered before the update said it was ready to go.

Most places are all on computers now so:
>pizza ordered, pops up on a screen
>pizza made, removed from screen
>in oven, computer knows oven time
>delivery is on driver screen, driver clocks it out; pizza on way
>computer estimates travel time based on distance from store; may "arrive" before it arrives

Ding ding ding!
There is no update system. The website just plays a pre-programmed animation and banks on the store doing shit on time.
The worst part is that pizza companies keep using this shit because it makes everyone who orders online extra happy. They all think there's progress being made on their pizza and think it's the best system ever. It's one of those marketing gimmicks where you can't decide whether you should be amazed at whatever genius that came up with it, or disappointed because of just how fucking well it works in placating the general public.

I'll add that some places, like delivery services that pick up food from stores that normally don't deliver (ubereats, doordash) either have a home office or the delivery driver (who sees it on their smartphone) call the restaurant to make the order, and from there the delivery driver inputs things manually in some way.

I don't really believe you since I ordered from dominos once and it was a crazy busy day (Snow storms usually are. I tip big on these days and encourage drivers to take their time) and it was stuck in the first notch for awhile before they finally got to my order and could start it up.
Either they have a failsafe for backlogs or restaurants can input them manually if they need to delay it for an extended period of time.

Bet if you do something like order online and then turn off wireless / unplug the ethernet cable once it starts playing, it'll complete like nothing's wrong unless the webpage now does shit like refresh once a minute to reload ads or something.
You could also just look at the source code on the webpage and see if it tries to retrieve any data in real-time.
Last I checked, Domino's most certainly didn't.
