The Idea

Everyone likes pizza. So, lets make a pizza delivery service program for android.

Click the pizza on your mobile. Bam! Behold the power of double stuffed cheese pizza! That you can order on the go and on the spot.

* Find all pizza locations near you.
* Find best user rated locations.
* Order directly on the spot.
* Track delivery time when you order out.
* Get menus from the restraint.

Fun Facts:
Cambrian House gave Google 1000 pizzas!

The first example keyword used for Google's mobile sms is pizza.

The first android demo video they talk about pizza over the phone.
"lexi: hay
lexi: Whats for dinner pizza?
Google guy: Pizza.
lexi: Pizza sounds good."

Google has pizza rewards program used to attract CS and engendering students to work for them.

Google maps runs on my mobile

"yeah but y only pizza?"
Well, I think trying ONE thing at a time will be nice for a change. There is no end to its application. It could be used for just about anything (sandwiches for example) it need not even be about food (For example it could be hotel listings.)

"so can i select the particular one"
On lets say there are two pizza locations (pinky's pizza and pizza hut). You would not only get there locations, you would get reviews about the location, there contact information and the ability to order & pay on the spot. Also, did I mention the program automatically gets your GPS data and does everything automated.

"Google maps runs on my mobile"
You are correct, it runs on mobile. This idea is to use it with androids new embedded maps to enhance the functionality. You no longer have to enter in all the data and you can do more things with the map data then you could ever do with just the standalone map program. Won't that be great?

But I love the "Bam!"!!!!

Ya, but that is local. (You at the shop just skipping the line by text messaging payment.) Also, you have to know the number.

I was thinking, what if you were not physically at the pizza shop, or know anything. Automated to the extrema relative (local) or absolute (global)!

Next, this is free so we can bread-roll it to the man!There are no extra charges. In addition, we will be under no obligation to promote the deep dish, amazing taste of PizzaHuts incredibly topped, meat lovers pizza. Regardless of how great that hot, mouthwatering pizza tastes on delivery pizza.

Man I love pizza, but I certainly don't need to make it any easier to obtain. I already eat too much of it. Although the concept is interesting, soon cell phones will have a regular browser and so they can basically do it.
