Chipotal The drone delivery leader is working closely with Zipline to test autonomous food distribution.
From Thursday, select customers in the Greater Dallas region, the zipline app will have the option to use the so -called zipotal delivery through an initial access program. The autonomous aircraft of zipline will order for customers’ homes from the Texas chipatal location.
With a comprehensive service launch in the coming weeks for more users, a small number of zipline users will be able to order a full chiptal menu. Any possible expansion in the future will be based on learning from tests.
Employees will place the order in a zipping point, which allows the aircraft to take orders for delivery. After flying to its destination, the aircraft will be approximately 300 feet in the air, while the zip is reduced on a drain, ground.
“The exciting thing about drone delivery is that we do not need specific drone places in every restaurant to make this effective,” told CNBC, Chairman and Chief Strategy and Chief Strategy and Chief Strategy and Technology Officer Kurt Garner. “Due to the coverage radius of the drone, it can only be a restaurant in a particular neighborhood that can serve the entire neighborhood. So that national expansion is easy, finding those places and then equipped with zipline.”

The drone delivery option can be resonant with a small consumer base, which is already important for chipll and its future development.
“I think young consumers remain a huge market opportunity for us. They are already the biggest fans of Chipotl,” said Garner. “They slant more for delivery than older consumers, and they are a curious group of people who want to try new things. And how many young people live together in apartments or in shared housing, is based on this, drone delivery is really a good option.”
