Burritos at your Fingertips - The Chipotle iPhone App
Posted on 01. Dec, 2009 by admin in Apps, Technology, iPhone
I love food, but more than food alone, I love Chipotle’s HUGE burritos! As much as I’ve tried, I can never just eat half of one. I have to eat the whole thing. It’s that good! I can’t put my finger on any one of the food items inside that thing, it’s simply all of them put together that makes it so tasty. The corn definitely stands out. Or is it the quacamole? hmm.
Well, while eating one of these today in my truck, driving in the rain, steering with my knees so i could hold the burrito and drink at the same time, I remembered the Chipotle iphone app. Thought I’ve had the app for a while, I’ve only used it twice. This is partly because of the super fast in store service. It makes the ordering process through a mobile phone practically unnecessary. The app is great, but there are only a few scenarios that we can think of that would justify using the app. We’ll list those below, but first, let us tell you what the app does nicely:
WHAT THE CHIPOTLE IPHONE APP DOES NICELY
1. After using your location, it helps you find the closest location. Actually gives you a few choices.
2. Offers a super easy a-la-carte style ordering process.
3. Great menu with beautiful photos of all items.
4. You can save your orders and add them as favorites, in case you want to place the same order again, and again, and again.
5. With a chipotle account, you can keep a credit card on file for fast checkouts. You can also just choose to pay in the store upon pick-up.
THE ONLY TIME YOU MIGHT NEED TO USE THE APP
Because the service is sooo fast at most Chipotle restaurants, the iphone app almost becomes unnecessary. But here are a few scenarios where the app would come in handy:
1. Placing multiple orders for your office or friends
2. Ordering during lunch time, when the lines are longer than normal
3. When you’re in a super crazy hurry and you possess the ability to drive really fast while placing your order at the same time.
Overall this app is great! We love it and will use it as often as we can. You can download the app by CLICKING HERE. Enjoy.
