The Chipotle Build-Your-Own option has been announced by the fast-casual restaurant chain as a new way for customers to place an order for smaller groups. The option is arriving as a digital exclusive that's perfect for small groups yet smaller than catering to offer the right amount of food for dining needs. The meal option comes with a customizable spread of ingredients that can be ready for pick up in as little as 15-minutes, which can be used to make custom burritos, bowls and loaded nachos.
President, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer Curt Garner spoke on the Chipotle Build-Your-Own option saying, "For the first time ever, guests can use our digital ordering channels, the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com, to bring a personalized Chipotle makeline to their kitchen with just a few taps. This is an innovation that brings people together around the food they love."
