April 24--Today Chipotle Mexican Grill will deliver your favorite chicken burrito right to your door. Tomorrow, you can use your Apple Watch to order it.
The burrito chain, which reported first-quarter earnings this week, said it launched a delivery service in 67 markets, including Chicago.
On Friday, the chain also will launch a mobile app designed for the Apple Watch, Chief Creative and Development Officer Mark Crumpacker said during a conference call. In recent months, the company has been working to boost its e-commerce business and mobile payment options, Crumpacker said.
Now, Chicago consumers can access delivery online or on a mobile app from Postmates.
"We selected Postmates as our official delivery partner in March and now they are currently delivering Chipotle orders in all of the markets where they operate," Crumpacker said.
