Chipotle Tests Carside Pickup

Specialty Food Association

Chipotle Mexican Grill is testing carside pickup at 29 restaurants in California. Customers can order through the app, head to the restaurant, and, upon notifying the restaurant upon arrival, a Chipotle team member will bring the order directly to the car.

"As our digital business evolves, we are continuing to explore ways to remove friction and increase access to our real food," said Curt Garner, chief technology officer, in a statement. "Chipotle Carside unlocks a new, highly convenient pick up experience for guests from our restaurants' parking lots."

This is the latest in a series of technology innovations that Chipotle is investing in, including its first digital kitchen, Facebook Messenger ordering, group ordering, and unlimited customization.
