Chipotle's Bringing Burritos To Your Door! - Food Feeder
Chipotle doesn’t offer delivery services of its own, but they have decided to partner with third-party delivery outfit Postmates, which operates in 67 cities so far. Postmates operates a bit like the Uber of food delivery, where freelance drivers using their own cars pick up your order for you.
You’ll pay for the convenience though - calculations suggest that that $8 burrito will cost you $20 once service fees are incorporated. Apparently some people are willing to pay this laziness tax, though, because Postmates delivered more than a half million dollars worth of Chioptle in the first quarter of this year. So, someone’s coming out ahead!
