The twist? Drive-thru customers are required to place their orders via Chipotle’s [mobile app](https://www.chipotle.com/mobile-app) or [online form](https://order.chipotle.com/) ahead of time. ![Chipotle storefront with a drive-thru lane](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/26758535_10156013293504253_5696707977154165683_o.jpg?width=2048&name=26758535_10156013293504253_5696707977154165683_o.jpg)For regular, seasoned customers, the act of routinely waiting out the line to handpick meal toppings and ingredients one-by-one can seem like an obstacle — especially during a busy lunch rush or dinner hour. So in addition to the more recently-implemented second food line (which can be found situated in the back of most Chipotle stores, specifically for those picking up take-out orders,) customers at select stores now have the opportunity to pick up their meals from the comfort of their vehicle. According to Curt Garner, Chipotle's Chief Digital and Information Officer, digital orders account for 8.8 percent of total sales in the last quarter. That's up 40 percent from a year ago. And while online orders account for less than one tenth of Chipotle’s total sales today, those numbers are projected to increase.
