Chipotle Tests Automation for Burrito Bowls and Salads

Chipotle Mexican Grill is testing automation technology from startup Hyphen to assemble burrito bowls and salads for digital orders. This move marks Chipotle's second venture into automation after its robot "Chippy" started making tortilla chips a year ago. While many restaurants are investing in automation to enhance order consistency and speed, it may take years before the technology delivers substantial cost savings in the industry.
