NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,
June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) announced today that it is
partnering with Grubhub, the nation's leading pickup and delivery
marketplace with the largest network of restaurant partners, to
expand its delivery footprint in the U.S. Chipotle and Grubhub have
established a fully-integrated partnership to provide efficient
operations and a seamless diner experience, ensuring food arrives
as fresh and fast as possible. Available now, customers can order
from Chipotle locations through the Grubhub app or Grubhub.com.
Digital orders from Chipotle are customized via the brand's
Digital 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 tamper evident
packaging seal to help ensure food is untouched during delivery.
Grubhub users will also default into contact-free delivery, which
allows diners to request their food be left in the lobby or at the
doorstep to avoid a direct handoff for their safety and the safety
of their driver.
"We are working tirelessly to ensure our network of delivery
aggregators can reach as many consumers as possible to deliver real
food directly to their doorstep," said Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing Officer at
Chipotle. "We're happy to utilize Grubhub's expansive network to
reach more Chipotle fans across the country."
"While more people are staying home in today's environment, we
want to ensure we're giving our diners the best options and making
the experience as safe as possible," said Seth Priebatsch, Head of Enterprise at Grubhub.
"Chipotle is a beloved brand, and we're thrilled to extend their
fresh menu to our millions of diners across the country."
Investing in digital and increasing access are primary focuses
for the business. Chipotle grew its digital sales by 80.8% year
over year as of the Company's Q1 earnings.
