NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,
March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) and Uber Eats
today announced a national delivery partnership. For the first
time, fans can get the Chipotle food they love delivered through
the Uber Eats app and ubereats.com. This month, the Delivery Fee
will be waived on any Chipotle order of $10 or more on the Uber Eats app and
ubereats.com. Service fee applies.
Given recent world events, Chipotle and Uber Eats are working
together to make the delivery experience easier for fans. Uber Eats
users can leave a note in the app for "no-contact" deliveries,
which involve a driver leaving the food at the doorstep rather than
an in-person exchange. Digital orders from Chipotle are customized
via the brand's Delivery Kitchens, which are comprised of a
dedicated ingredient station and operated by a special team in
nearly all Chipotle locations. Chipotle deliveries also feature a
new, tamper evident packaging seal to help ensure food is untouched
during delivery.
"Now more than ever, we know our guests want the convenience of
getting our real food delivered directly to their doorstep," said
Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing
Officer at Chipotle. "We're excited to expand our delivery
footprint through a partnership with Uber Eats, which will make it
even easier for fans to get the food they love without leaving the
house."
"At Uber Eats, we are on a mission to make eating well
effortless for everyone, everywhere," said Janelle Sallenave, Head of Uber Eats, US &
Canada. "The fans have asked for
it, and we could not be more excited to finally deliver delicious
Chipotle burritos, bowls, and sides within the comfort of their own
homes. We know that adding Chipotle to our current offerings will
bring joy to our eaters with the tap of a button."
Both teams have been working closely on this fully integrated
partnership to ensure a smooth experience for in-restaurant teams
and for Chipotle fans and eaters across the country. The
partnership with Uber Eats is another way Chipotle is working to
grow its digital and delivery business. Digital orders grew to over
$1 billion dollars in 2019, and to
accommodate digital and delivery, Chipotle is installing new
in-restaurant features to increase convenience for customers and
delivery partners. Walk-up windows and premium placement for
digital built in pick-up portals allow delivery drivers to retrieve
food quickly and efficiently. Additionally, in 2020, Chipotle plans
to add a Chipotlane, a drive-thru pick-up lane where guests can
pick-up digital orders without leaving their cars, to most of the
new restaurants it opens.
$0 delivery is valid only for
orders placed and fulfilled 3/18/20 -
3/31/20, within Uber Eats delivery areas from participating
Chipotle locations, during normal operating hours for such
locations. Minimum order $10/maximum
order $200, each excluding tax.
Variable service fee will apply. Deliveries subject to
availability. Offer is not valid on catering or Burritos by the Box
orders. Redemptions of Chipotle Rewards and other promotional
offers may be included in a qualifying delivery order but do not
count towards satisfaction of minimum purchase requirements. Valid
only at ubereats.com or on the Uber Eats app. Uber Eats reserves
the right to modify or terminate this offer at any time without
notice. Additional restrictions may apply; void where
prohibited.
