The Domino ’ s discounted gift cards have proven to be a huge hit very quickly and are an ideal gift for any pizza lover in your life . The most popular purchases so far have been by individuals for birthday presents or congratulatory treats , alongside companies ordering them in bulk as ways to reward their teams or give as gifts at special company events .
Mike explained : " After meeting Sophia and discussing how we could work together , a gift card and catering platform was the ideal idea .
“ This is something I ’ ve been excited to create and launch for a while and I ' m so pleased with our progress so far .
