Located just outside of the gates to the military academy in Orange County, the restaurant, located in Highland Falls, is open for pick-up and delivery only as of Saturday, Nov. 14.

The new prototype will allow Chipotle to enter more urban areas that wouldn't support a full-size restaurant and allows for flexibility with future locations, , the company said.

The Digital Kitchen concept is focused on accelerating the digital business in non-traditional locations. It is unique because it does not include a dining room or front service line and guests must order in advance via Chipotle.com, the Chipotle app, or third-party delivery partners. 

Orders can be picked up from a lobby that is designed to include all of the sounds, smells, and kitchen views of a traditional Chipotle restaurant. 

The Digital Kitchen will also service large catering orders available for pick up in a separate lobby with its own dedicated entry.

"The Digital Kitchen incorporates innovative features that will complement our rapidly growing digital business while delivering a convenient and frictionless experience for our chief technology officer of Chipotle.
