I agree with the author and you. I think Dominos is the exception though. Pizza places aren't nearly as painful as other places that have javascript bloated, every single interaction has a spinner, there's too much whitespace ordering apps.

Looking at you Applebee's.

Maybe I just have more patience than the average person, but I haven't seen a site with enough bloated javascript/spinners/whitespace that would cause me to reach for alternatives (phone or otherwise).

The last time I ate at Applebees is the last time I will eat at Applebees.

What do you even want to takeout order from there?

Pizza Hut is just as easy. Grub hub and other online ordering platforms have also been working fine for years now. What the author completely ignores is that you only enter your data once. Also there’s much less chance for any miscommunication and repeat orders are much easier and faster. It’s like having a shortcut for pizza.
