‘Zipotle’: Chipotle Wants to Drop a Burrito on Your Head with New Drone Delivery

Chipotle, the popular fast-food chain, is exploring a new method of delivering its signature burritos and bowls: drone deliveries. The company has launched a pilot program in Texas to test the feasibility of using drones to deliver its menu items directly to customers. The program, dubbed "Zipotle," aims to provide a faster and more convenient delivery option for Chipotle customers. The drones will be capable of carrying a single burrito or bowl and delivering it within a short distance from the restaurant. While the program is still in its early stages, Chipotle is optimistic about the potential benefits of drone delivery, including reduced delivery times and the ability to reach customers in areas where traditional delivery methods may be impractical. The company has partnered with a drone technology provider to develop the necessary infrastructure and ensure the safety and reliability of the drone deliveries. As the pilot program progresses, Chipotle plans to gather feedback from customers and explore the feasibility of expanding the service to other regions.
