About Chili’s Delivery
Delivery is unusual for most major sit-down restaurant chains. It is being done nationwide and is now available at many of their restaurants. Chili’s delivery employees use their own cars to drive orders to their customers. The orders must be at a minimum of $125 offering the chain a new revenue source. This also helps Chili’s to not lose diners to the faster spots they can stop for lunch like Panera Bread and Chipotle.
Here are some of the benefits of having a Chili’s delivery service:
- It involves little new equipment;
- It helps the restaurant better use the equipment they have;
- Lunch and dinner deliveries available;
- Rare to find a chain that has turned to delivery;
- Helps Chili’s become more competitive;
- 450 restaurants offer delivery nationwide.
