Chipotle Launches Drone Delivery Pilot Program in Dallas
Chipotle is trying out a new way to deliver your burritos!
They're working with a drone company called Zipline to fly food to people's homes in Dallas.
Customers can order through the Zipline app and get their food delivered by a drone.
The drones will pick up the orders from a Chipotle restaurant and lower them to the ground using a small robot.
The company hopes this will be popular, especially with younger customers, and could make it easier to deliver Chipotle all over the country.
The deliveries will cost a small fee and happen during specific hours.
Chipotle is partnering with Zipline to pilot drone food delivery in the Dallas area.
The service is called "Zipotle delivery" and will use Zipline's autonomous aircraft to deliver food.
Initially, deliveries will originate from a Chipotle restaurant in Rowlett, Texas.
Deliveries will cost $2.99 plus a 15% service fee, capped at $6, and operate from 12 pm to 8 pm CT.
Zipline, with over 100 million autonomous miles, aims to expand the service nationally.
