IRVINE, Calif.—El Pollo Loco has begun piloting its “Air Loco” food transport, becoming the first national restaurant company to pilot “door-to-backyard” drone delivery.

“We want to lead the way in the quick service restaurant industry in a way no other brand has previously attempted,” Andy Rebhun, El Pollo Loco’s vice president of digital, told The Epoch Times. “We’ll be the first [fast food restaurant] to deliver this type of memorable experience to our customers in a cost-efficient, fun, and reliable fashion.”
