Imagine getting your favorite burrito delivered straight from the sky. Chipotle is making this futuristic food fantasy a reality with its new drone delivery service called “Zipotle,” developed in partnership with autonomous drone delivery company Zipline.

The innovative service is launching in Rowlette, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, and promises to revolutionize how we think about food delivery. Customers can order through the Zipline app, and a local Chipotle will prepare their meal. Then, a drone will fly to the delivery address, hover approximately 300 feet in the air, and precisely drop the order via a specialized carrier.

While drone delivery might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, Chipotle is positioning this as more than just a tech novelty. The company is emphasizing the environmental benefits of this delivery method. Curt Garner, Chipotle’s president and chief strategy and technology officer, highlighted that Zipotle allows customers to enjoy meals in traditionally hard-to-serve locations like backyards and public parks.

The partnership with Zipline reflects Chipotle’s commitment to innovative and sustainable delivery solutions. By reducing ground transportation and potentially minimizing carbon emissions, drone delivery could represent a significant step towards more eco-friendly food distribution.

This launch is part of a broader trend of tech companies exploring autonomous delivery methods. From pizza to prescription medications, drones are increasingly being seen as a viable alternative to traditional delivery models.

As Zipotle rolls out, Bay Area tech enthusiasts and food lovers alike will be watching closely to see how this aerial delivery service transforms the way we think about getting our favorite meals.
