Chipotle is moving from fast-casual to even faster with the announcement of “Chipotlanes” drive-thru option opening in three Tampa Bay locations, as reported by WFLA News.

It seems easy enough: customers order on the Mexican chain’s mobile app, or at chipotle.com, then go to one of the restaurant’s designated pick-up lanes and voila, you’ve got your burrito bowl (or chips and guacamole which are much easier to eat in a car).

As of Thursday, the Zephyrhills store, at 7646 Gall Blvd., is the only one up and running but two others—16118 Preserve Marketplace Blvd. in Odessa and 6020 U.S.-301 N in Ellenton—should be open in a couple of months.
