Chipotle introduces drone delivery in Texas

  • Chipotle is piloting a new drone delivery service, named 'Zipotle', in collaboration with Zipline, the world's largest autonomous delivery system.
  • The service utilizes Zipline's quiet, zero-emission aircraft, known as 'Zips', to provide convenient and fresh food deliveries.
  • Currently, 'Zipotle' is being tested with a limited number of Zipline users in Rowlett, Texas, with plans for a broader launch in the coming weeks.
  • Customers place orders via the Zipline app, and drones automatically pick up and deliver the food, hovering at 300 feet to gently lower packages.
  • The initiative aims to offer quick and convenient delivery, including to locations traditionally difficult to serve, with initial capacity for orders up to 5.5 pounds.
