Texas-based fast-food chain Taco Bueno is officially joining the growing drone delivery movement, teaming up with Zipline to bring fresh Tex-Mex meals to customers by air.
Residents living within three miles of Taco Bueno’s North Beach Street location in Watauga, Texas, can now order food through the Zipline app and have it delivered directly to their homes using autonomous drones. That means tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and other made-from-scratch menu items can now arrive without a delivery driver ever touching the road.
The process is designed to be simple. Customers download the Zipline app, enter their address, browse available menu items, and place an order. Once the meal is prepared, a drone flies the order to the customer’s location and lowers it safely to the ground.
For Taco Bueno, the move is about blending its decades-old Tex-Mex identity with newer technology aimed at speed and convenience.
“The drone-delivery partnership with Zipline is just one more example of the work we are doing to combine the heritage of Taco Bueno with innovations across products, service, technology, and customer experience,” says Dani Perales, Taco Bueno’s director of marketing and innovation.
