Chipotle Has Quietly Begun A Delivery Service, Here’s The Catch
One of our least favorite things about Chipotle is waiting in line. The fast-casual eatery usually has people out the door and desperately waiting for their burrito fix. What if, however, you didn’t have to wait in line to get your hands on Chipotle?
Turns out the popular QSR is offering a delivery service. The app-based delivery service Postmates is apparently Chipotle’s official partner. Consumers can get their Chipotle fix any region that Postmates is available.
The fast-casual chain is still working on improving mobile ordering and payment methods through Postmates, but it seems like it’s officially been given the green light. A while ago, actually.
Yep. Sources say Chipotle has already begun working with Postmates, for at least a financial quarter. Apparently, Postmates has already delivery $500,000 in Chipotle in the last quarter alone. The service is available in 67 markets including California, New York, Florida, Arizona and the District of Columbia.
The catch, since there’s always a catch, is pricing. It seems like an average $8 Chipotle burrito, which is already pretty pricey, will cost you about $20 if Postmates delivers it. That’s more than double the cost.
So you definitely don’t have to wait for your Chipotle, but you’re going to have to pay more. Maybe that line doesn’t look so bad anymore.
