Just read over on the Triangle Food Blog that the former First Citizens Bank in the Millpond Shopping Center (on Kildaire Farm Road in Cary) is going to become a Chipotle with a drive-thru. Renovations are still in the early stages.

The Chipotle in Holly Springs has a drive-thru. It was previously a Dairy Queen.

It's not going to be a traditional drive-thru. It will be pickup only per the plans (note at left in below image):

That is a good idea. I can see it speeding up pick-up orders.
But I assume most people will place the order at the window / in the drive-thru line which can cause a slow down. Just imagine somebody placing a large digital order while in line.
Looks like a one car width lane.

I haven't been, but from driving past it, I think the Chipolte at Carver St. and N. Roxboro St. in north Durm is also a drive thru.

You should try it - it really does make things easier for everyone including yourself. Plus many places will give you free stuff for using the app.

I use the chick fil a app, it’s great. It takes me all of 20 seconds to put in my order, I hop in the car, drive thru, and I’m done. Occasionally something on my order will be free if I’ve gained enough points. Chick fil a is amazing at running their drive thru, but if everyone uses the app it would be even faster.

One of the best things to come out of Covid is a lot of food/retail stepped up their game with online ordering and curbside pickup.

I like the CFA app but not the McD app.
