A rundown of the Chipotle app

Sure, many restaurants are using this system but we’re here to look at Chipotle because, well, it’s mostly awesome. Odds are good that you could have a burrito in hand within the hour if you act quickly. Note that you can also use Grubhub or Uber Eats as Chipotle partners with them too, however, the Chipotle app doesn’t leverage technology from either platform like it does with DoorDash.

Like most modern apps, the onboarding process is fairly quick, despite its lack of social logins or objectively better systems like Sign in with Apple. If you’re not going to include a third-party authentication service in your app, then make sure the process is painless for the end-user, a la the Chipotle app.

Once logged in, you’re taken to the main screen which allows you to choose whether you want pickup or delivery. Tapping either the ‘Order Now’ or ‘Menu’ allows you to begin constructing deliciousness – on subsequent visits, the former option will be replaced with an ‘Add to Bag’ option, allowing you to quickly re-order the same thing. Another link will also appear that allows you to further access other past orders as well as any favorites you’ve saved.

Connoisseurs will immediately recognize Chipotle’s Americanized-taqueria menu and anyone who’s “been meaning to try it” for the past decade shouldn’t have any issues putting together a satisfying meal through the app’s well-designed menu. 

Ingredients are essentially listed in the same logical “flow” you’d find in the brick-and-mortar restaurants, starting with the “protein” choices (i.e., meat or their seasoned tofu option called ‘Sofritas’), followed by the type of rice, beans, and so on. Virtually everything here can be customized by sliding the item to the right which will reveal additional, contextual options like the ability to put an ingredient on the side or double-down on the protein option when you’re fiercely hungry.

One other thing to note here is the little leaf icon in the top right-hand corner reveals allergen information which is kind of a big deal. As someone with a peanut and tree nut allergy, this is much appreciated – potential customers that have significant allergies are usually reluctant to try different foods without being absolutely sure they won’t die. Doing so, especially when you’re not a well-known entity like Chipotle, can help generate revenue from weaklings like me.

After you’ve configured your entrée to your liking and added any extras to your cart, payment comes next. On Android, assuming G Pay is configured, this should populate as the default payment option. Like items in the food menu, the G Pay card icon can be slid to the side to reveal additional payment options. Any card information provided can be saved for future use or, you can opt to make a one-time payment that won’t be retained by the system.

For pick-up orders, the app provides a time for pickup which means you should be able to simply walk in and grab your order. More on that below. Delivery orders will provide a timeline for delivery as well as an external link to the DoorDash site where you can watch the little vehicle icon make its way from the restaurant to your location.

Finally, after a day or two, you’ll be credited with points based on the dollar amount you spent (excluding service fees, taxes, your hopefully generous tip, etc.) These points can later be redeemed for more food or applied toward things like Chipotle swag.
