SALT LAKE CITY -- Sizzling Platter, the Utah-based restaurant management company with nearly 400 restaurant units globally, is teaming up with Little Caesars, giving its patrons throughout Utah a glimpse into the future by streamlining the process of getting a pizza with a new, customer-focused RESERVE-N-READY service – available now at 55 Little Caesars locations which are the first to bring this technology to the state.  The service features a breakthrough device called the Pizza Portal, the FIRST heated, self-service mobile order pick-up station in the quick service restaurant industry.

With this innovation, customers get hot, freshly-prepared, custom products in hand seconds after they walk in the store using state-of-the-art, automated, self-service hot-holding technology. RESERVE-N-READY combines the company's best-in-class convenience with mobile ordering, pre-payment and heated self-service pick up to create an entirely new experience for customers.

In keeping with the convenience Little Caesars is known for, the new RESERVE-N-READY service is aimed at helping customers have an easier and faster way to get pizza. Customers just place an order and pre-pay via the Little Caesars mobile app. The app will notify the customer when the order is ready. When the customer arrives to the store, they skip the line and go directly to the Pizza Portal and input a 3-digit pin or scan a QR code. Then, the door on the customer's secured compartment opens, and they take their hot, fresh order. It's that easy.

Additionally, customers can get any pizza with their choice of toppings, or choose from expanded menu options using the mobile app.  All products are prepared just for them with quality ingredients, like fresh, never frozen, mozzarella and Muenster cheese, dough made fresh daily in the stores and sauce made from fresh-packed, vine-ripened California crushed tomatoes.

"RESERVE-N-READY is a game changer in the restaurant business, aimed to improve the customer experience while delivering convenience and quality," said David Tresko, Director of Marketing for Sizzling Platter. "It's an honor not only to be the first to make our flexible pick-up service available in Utah but also to provide flexibility for customers at 55 of our state's locations."

The Pizza Portal's proprietary technology has been co-developed with Apex Supply Chain Technologies, the world's leading provider of automated dispensing system, exclusively for Little Caesars.

Little Caesars has a long history of innovation including pioneering a two-for-one pizza deal known as Pizza!Pizza!, introducing the revolutionary HOT-N-READY concept, inventing a conveyor oven specially designed to bake pizza, and creating unique products such as Crazy Bread, Bacon Wrapped DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza, ExtraMostBestest and more.

Sizzling Platter currently operates in 13 states and multiple countries around the world, with more than 400 units globally. In addition to Little Caesars, Sizzling Platter has four other brands in its concept portfolio, including Dunkin' Donuts, Wingstop, Red Robin and Sizzler.
