Pizza to the Polls

The day-of team included @downen, @spencemcc, @monkey_herder @spencemcc @mollieruskin, @erikamlindsey @go4erin @rowanwheeler @amelialark @trabblescrabble @jonathanowicki @tjhils @LydiaManger @jlthibault , @noahheller, Dustin T, and many more.

Some of us were holed up in a conference room in a friend’s office in Portland, and many others were scattered around the country. No exaggeration to say that we were ordering pizza as fast as humanly possible. It's v hard to spend $225,000+ on pizza in mostly a single day.

Someone would then do a search on http://slicelife.com  for the closest local pizza place and put in an order for 10-20 pies with instructions for the driver to give them out to everyone there. When local places weren’t available, we went with Dominos, who were also helpful.

As soon as we placed an order, we had a custom integration using @zapier that would fire off those fun tweets with the order details. We used @zapier for a lot of things, and it really glued the whole operation together. (The co-founders also work there).

Here’s where we give an extra special thanks to all the pizza places we worked with. These places were absolute heroes, some were churning out hundreds of pies with a short staff (it was a Tuesday after all). We tip 30+% to the driver as a thank you for the harder-than-usual job.
