One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Interesting facts about Chipotle

Chipotle operates over 3,000 restaurants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The company has a strong presence in the fast-casual restaurant industry, with a focus on providing a high-quality dining experience that is also affordable.

The company was founded in 1993 in Denver, Colorado, by Steve Ells, who originally intended to open a fine-dining restaurant.
