Chipotle and Zipline launched Zipotle, a delivery service using autonomous electric drones called Zips to transport digital orders with zero emissions and faster delivery times. The service starts from a Chipotle in Rowlett, Texas, serving the greater Dallas area with select customers accessing Zipotle through the Zipline app and a broader rollout planned. Employees prepare orders and place them into a Zipping Point container for autonomous pickup. After flying to the destination, the aircraft hovers about 300 feet while the Zip lowers and places the order, avoiding obstacles and handling various weather conditions.
"Zipotle is a quick and convenient source of delivery that lets guests enjoy our real food from places that are traditionally challenging to serve, including backyards and public parks,"
"Zipline's commitment to building an efficient, environmentally friendly delivery experience is synonymous with our mission to Cultivate a Better World."
"After flying to its destination, the aircraft will hover about 300 feet in the air, while the Zip lowers to the ground,"
"Zips are built to handle rain, wind, and heat with ease-flying high above flooded roads and traffic jams. And because they're 100% electric, they're climate conscious too."
