It also provides an incentive to try (and get hooked) on the new stuff on the menu.<\/p>\n<p>As we poked around the app, the What&#8217;s New tab revealed something interesting: <strong>food items that are available &#8220;online only.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-132947\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/salads.jpg\" alt=\"Chipotle Salads\" width=\"700\" height=\"237\" \/>These preset salad bowls appear new to the menu, so Chipotle probably doesn&#8217;t want to slow up their line by having their employees try to remember all of the ingredients. You could certainly assemble these bowls in person &#8211; all of the ingredients are already part of the menu &#8211; but if you didn&#8217;t care about the personalization, you could just mash this button on the app and have the bowl waiting for you.<\/p>\n<p>The app also has a delivery\/pickup button prominently displayed, so it&#8217;s not hard to set up your preferred option.<\/p>\n<p>Chipotle has been on the rebound since some food safety scandals a few years ago. After hitting a low of $271\/share in October of 2017, the stock is trading for $669\/share today. If Chipotle can create some added loyalty with this app, the future is bright.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"How to find the best restaurant wherever you are \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-find-the-best-restaurant-wherever-you-are\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/restaurant-food-1921.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>How to find the best restaurant wherever you are \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <a title=\"6 best apps for foodies \u25ba\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-6-best-apps-for-you-if-you-are-a-foodie\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__article\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__image\">\r\n        <div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/restaurant-food-192.jpg)\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__text\">\r\n        <p>6 best apps for foodies \u25ba<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"Are meal planning apps the best way to plan meals?
