Debonairs Pizza Showcases Ease Of ‘Deliver To Pin’ With New TVC

Debonairs Pizza is showcasing how easy it is to interact with the Debonairs Pizza mobile app and uses its Deliver to Pin functionality to have your pizza delivered when you are not at a formal physical address.

According to Toni Joubert the Marketing Executive of South Africa’s leading pizza delivery brand, “Debonairs Pizza thrives on bringing convenience to the consumer.  We were first to bring home delivery to South Africa, first with online ordering and first with an online ordering mobile App. We continue to make improvements to our App and delivery service.

“In addition to now being able to track your order via our Driver Tracking functionality, users can now pin their location and get their pizza delivered to them. The pin is a powerful tool enabling drivers to find those who have placed an order without them having to enter a formal physical address, giving users an enjoyable, efficient and easy experience.“When someone is doing something important, or enjoyable, in an unusual or obscure location, and hunger strikes, they’ve lucked out. There is nowhere close to buy food and the usual delivery mechanism won’t work because there is no physical address. The only solution is to go hungry, or begrudgingly stop what they are doing to find food,” she said.

“The Debonairs Pizza fan is in luck, because the Debonairs Pizza mobile app and drivers are there for them. As long as they are using their smart phone to place their order, the GPS functionality-the Debonairs Pizza mobile app will allow them to pin their location, enabling the driver to – theoretically – find them anywhere” FCB Joburg Creative Director Greg Cameron added.The Deliver to Pin functionality is available at select Debonairs Pizza restaurants (approximately 80% of the delivery network) and the standard free delivery terms apply, namely that the delivery location needs to be within a 5km driving distance from a participating Debonairs Pizza restaurant.

FCB Joburg’s team Creative Director Greg Cameron, Art Director Jacque Moodley and Copywriter Sandile Hamilton, opted to exaggerate the locations in a tongue-in-cheek way to demonstrate the app’s functionality. The 30-second TVC and 20-second cut-down feature “Mr Amazing”, who manages to take receipt of his pizza from a delivery man, and take a bite without missing a step or dropping a slice in six different scenarios all while describing how easy it is to use this new functionality.
