Meet the man who eats pizza for $100 an hour
The lucky man who was chosen for a unique $100-an-hour Domino’s Pizza job, which went viral when it was advertised last month, has been revealed.
Queensland teacher Matt Strain has been chosen by the fast food company as their next model after a national search for the coveted role was announced.
In May, Domino’s called for someone with “more than 18 years of pizza-holding experience” and whose hands were “so clean and soft they could spread garlic bread and lift up to four pizza slices in one hand.”
After hundreds of applicants submitted their video roles to the company, Mr Strain, 39, was chosen as the next model.
Speaking to 9 News Queensland about the role, he joked that his hands were ‘unscathed by hard work’.

“It’s not the hand modeling that’s difficult, it’s actually the standing,” Logan Middle School teacher told the program.
The role pays $100 an hour for Mr. Strain’s time.
Domino’s announced that the successful applicant would also spend a day at Domino’s global headquarters in Brisbane to model the next menu innovation.
Mr Strain’s hands will feature in the new advertising campaign as Domino’s launches its new product range.
Domino’s ANZ people business partner Matthew Baldwin said the search has led to some very creative applications.
“We had people make shadow puppets… (even) some sneaky feet got into the photos,” Mr Baldwin said.
In their first advertisement for the position, Domino’s said the chosen model will also get a tour of their Innovation Kitchen, spend time in the Say Cheese professional photography studio and enjoy a pizza lunch as a thank you for all their handiwork.
“And since this is top secret stuff, the successful applicant must also be prepared to promise (aka sign a non-disclosure agreement) that they will not share any confidential menu information after their visit,” the ad said.
