Chipotle is testing curbside pickup services

 

In light of the coronavirus pandemic and to protect all parties involved, Chipotle has decided to start testing curbside delivery services. Thanks to this, customers will not have to go inside the restaurants to get their tacos or burritos.

This system is first being trialled at 29 locations in California. How does it work? Customers ordering products from participating restaurants using the firm’s mobile app will see an option titled “curbside pickup” before they check out. They will be able to enter information such as the make, type and colour of their vehicle into the application. When they confirm their order, they will receive a set of instructions. The directions will be along the following lines: “Go to the restaurant, park as close to it as possible, and click an "I'm here" button in the app”. When this is done, someone from Chipotle will bring the clients’ order to their car.

The company’s chief technology officer advanced that if the trial is a success, this facility will be rolled out in other areas in the coming weeks. He also said that Chipotle had started working on this program approximately three months back. It is a follow-up to the popularity of its Chipotlanes. These are pick-up lanes dedicated to digital orders.
