DOMINO’S Pizza said internet orders regularly topped £1m a day after another year of strong growth.

The pizza delivery firm, which has 726 sites across the UK, Ireland and Germany, received total orders worth £145m in the 13 weeks to Christmas Day – an increase of 9.5% on a year ago. That includes £53.1m online.

The web boom was partly fuelled by the increased use of smartphones, which now drive 12.6% of Domino’s online orders.
