Chipotlane restaurants: These restaurants, which Chipotle unveiled in 2018, have smaller digital kitchen footprints than a typical Chipotle and don't have a front line or a dining room where customers can sit down. A make-line in the kitchen is set aside for digital orders placed through the Chipotle app or online at Xhipotle.com. Customers can pick up their food at the Chipotlane drive-through or walk-up window.
Average restaurant sales: refer to the average trailing 12-month food and beverage sales for restaurants in operation for at least 12 full calendar months.
