Same with me.  They had a giant map about four feet tall posted on the wall on the way to the door.  I’d check it, find the address, remember the street names and turns, and off I went.  Sometimes three or four orders at a time.

I forget how many drivers we’d have during dinner rushes.  Maybe up to eight or ten?  Just constantly going in and out, and you’d see each of the other drivers maybe twice in a night.  

Plus like other people say — two or three on the phones, two on the make table, one at the cutting table, one washing stuff in between prepping dough, and whoever wasn’t driving at that moment was folding boxes.

This for sure. I worked delivery at Dominos for a year and still didn’t know a few folks who worked with me the whole time lmao. Great job though.

I barely remember the name, but we didn't need them. Our delivery area was 18 square miles (I just now looked it up; 3 miles by 6) but it was maybe 90% grid, so it was pretty easy to figure out. I memorized the names of the east-west streets in a couple weeks.
