Domino’s expands use of electric delivery mopeds in London

15 Domino’s branches across London are using electric mopeds to deliver pizzas.

The brand began trialling NIU scooters in October, replacing petrol scooters, and has now expanded its fleet to include over 200 of the cloud connected, purpose built vehicles.

Domino’s has had bespoke charging cabinets made for each of the aforementioned branches to make sure that battery charging is safe and pragmatic.

Each moped contains two lithium-Ion batteries and can be charged within four hours.

Everybody’s talking about Bitcoin

Immensus Holdings, a Domino’s Pizza franchisee in the Netherlands, is now offering to pay its employees in Bitcoin.

This was announced on Bitcoin Pizza Day, which marks the first time Bitcoin was used as a form of payment when developer Laszlo Hanyecz stumped up 10,000 BTC for two pizzas on 22nd May 2010.

Staff will be able to choose how much of their salary above the minimum wage – which must be paid in euros by law – they wish to receive in Bitcoin.

Immensus Holdings is Holland's largest Domino’s franchisee, with 16 stores. It will offer the option in partnership with fiat to crypto gateway BTC Direct.

The company has over 1,000 internal and external employees who can opt into the scheme.

“We work with a lot of young employees. We hear them talking about Bitcoin and we want to offer the opportunity to own cryptocurrency,” says Immensuus co-owner Jonathan Gurevich.
