Taco Bell is thinking big and mobile
March 23, 2021
Taco Bell is looking to have 10,000 stores in operation by 2029. The Mexican food-inspired chain continues to add new store designs to accommodate local market conditions and focus on contactless experiences with the addition of drive-throughs, curbside pickup and mobile order and pay. Taco Bell is testing the use of bellhops — employees with tablets to facilitate ordering and curbside pickup to reduce bottlenecks at stores during busy periods.
