Chipotle Mexican Grill has announced it is partnering with Zipline, one of the world’s largest autonomous delivery systems, to fly digital orders to guests’ locations in greater Dallas.
Chipotle’s new delivery option, Zipotle, will use Zipline’s fleet of quiet, zero emissions aircraft, to make super fast, convenient deliveries that save customers’ time and keep orders dine-in fresh. Chipotle’s entire menu is eligible for Zipotle delivery.
“Zipotle is a quick and convenient source of delivery that lets guests enjoy our real food from places that are traditionally challenging to serve, including backyards and public parks,” said Curt Garner, President, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer at Chipotle. ”Zipline’s commitment to building an efficient, environmentally friendly delivery experience is synonymous with our mission to ‘Cultivate a Better World’.”
“With Zipline, you tap a button, and minutes later food magically appears – hot, fresh and ultra-fast,” said Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, CEO and Co-founder of Zipline. ”Starting now, families in the Dallas area can have food delivered by Zipotle and served for lunch or dinner. What once felt like science fiction is soon going to become totally normal.”
Zipline designs, manufactures and operates its autonomous aircraft, pioneering the use of physical AI in commercial last mile logistics. Zipline delivery is extraordinarily quiet and barely noticeable and food arrives restaurant-fresh – even in wind, rain, cold or Texas summer heat – thanks to its speed and built-in insulation.
