All those orders start with a phone call. And the
employee taking the phone call in every Domino’s
store uses Domino’s Pulse. Domino’s Pulse, available
through HP thin clients, powers the order-taking
stations, kitchen pizza-making stations, and the
dispatch station where the order is assigned to a
delivery driver.

Pulse didn’t start out running on HP thin clients, of
course. Most stores were opened with “rich” clients
throughout. The impetus for change came with new
Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulations on how credit
card information can be handled, stored, encrypted
and passed along the Internet.

“Any place that you store credit card data has to be
secure,” Pederson notes. “One of the things that thin
clients afford us is the security of knowing that there’s
no way to store personal customer information on the
workstation itself. So if someone pulls the plug out of
the wall and walks away with one of our thin clients,
there won’t be any customer data on it.” Switching out
the workstations in every store is no small task, of
course. So Domino’s looked for the most efficient and
cost-effective solution available.

It soon settled on HP thin clients running the Linux
operating system, customized with a standard
Domino’s image. The thin clients come straight from
the factory with the customized image installed,

more than 12,000 thin clients in some 2,500 franchise
stores. Moving forward, the company will be buying
HP t5545 Thin Clients for Domino’s corporate stores
and eventually for international locations.

“We expect to get a significantly longer lifecycle from
HP thin clients. By the time we get to the third year,
where a traditional workstation is close to end-of-life,
the thin clients should be going strong. I’m expecting
to get five years or more life out of the thin clients
because they don’t have any moving parts.”

Longer lifecycle, lower cost
HP thin clients represent a major cost savings for
Domino’s. Each thin client saves a store roughly $400
in initial hardware cost and the average store has six
workstations, for an average per store savings of
approximately $2,400. And that’s just the initial cost.
