LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - There's a lot of dough in online pizza.
Just ask the Papa John's people.
The chain has just passed the 1-billion-dollar mark in Internet
pizza sales. The company says Internet orders have climbed more
than 50 percent a year since the service started seven years ago.
The hottest markets for Papa John's Internet orders are the Austin,
Texas, and Washington D.C. areas.
A company official says while it took seven years to reach that
first billion-dollar plateau, forecasts indicate it will take fewer
than three years to hit the next billion.
Officials of Papa John's promise new wrinkles to high-tech
ordering, but they're not revealing just what's in the oven.
