Chipotle And Starbucks Are Embracing Drive-Thrus
We all know that the way we order and consume food has changed over the past couple of years with the pandemic and Chipotle and Starbucks are two chains that have changed their outlook on the way they are serving their customers. Those changes in large part coming because of “our new reality.”
- While Chipotle previously relied on the in-restaurant dining experience, but drive-thru and digital orders are now more of a priority. For example, they’ve also added Chipoitlanes, their version of drive-thrus. There are now 284 Chipotlanes in the US up from about 40 at the beginning of the year.
