Chipotle Offers Free Delivery of Online Orders Through March
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) announced on Thursday it will offer free food delivery for certain online orders through the end of the month. Beginning this Sunday, restaurants that already offer deliveries will waive delivery fees on orders in excess of $10, accommodating those eaters who may be unwilling or unable to visit a Chipotle location.

The move aligns with similar measures being mulled or already implemented by other restaurant chains as the coronavirus pandemic spreads. Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) revealed on Thursday it was prepared to limit service at some locations to drive-thru only, and said that at those stores it keeps open, it may increase the distance between tables in an effort to reduce the risk of spreading the contagion. Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) announced earlier this week it would offer paid sick leave benefits to its hourly employees, also as a means of combating the spread of COVID-19.
