Alexa Can Now Order You A Chipotle Burrito

Newport Beach-based fast food chain Chipotle is making it easier for you to order its burritos and other items, through a new link into Amazon Alexa, the company said on Thursday. Chipotle said that it has launched a Chipotle skill for Alexa, which allows its members to reoder their favorite meals for either delivery or pickup. According to Chipotle, users can download Amazon Alexa and enable the Chipotle skill, and link their Chipotle profile and reorder at any time. As part of a promotion of the high-tech link between Alexa and Chipotle, Chipotle said it wil also be giving away Amazon Echo Dots to all of its existing, Chipotle Rewards members named Alexa. It's unclear how many customers that might include. Chipotle said it will also roll out its own, artificial intelligence-generated voice assistants to all 2,500 of its restaurants, so that customers can go through the entire ordering process, pay ahead, and skip the line for pickup to collect their order.
