Every Chain And Service Offering Free Delivery Right Now
Several chain restaurants and delivery services are offering diners the option to avoid public spaces during the coronavirus outbreak with free delivery and special preparations. This list will be updated as more additions roll in.
Chipotle
Through March, Chipotle will offer free delivery on purchases of $10 or more online and on Uber Eats. The meals will be made in kitchens dedicated to digital orders using a separate line of ingredients than what's available to walk-in diners, and everything that goes out for delivery will be protected by a tamper-evident packaging seal. You can even leave a note for your delivery driver to limit direct contact.
McDonald's
Through April 6, McDonald's will be offering free delivery on orders over $15 through Uber Eats and DoorDash.
KFC
Through April 26, KFC will also offer free delivery. Unlike Chipotle, you don't need to spend a certain amount of money to get the deal, but a small fee will apply to orders under $12 before tax, tip and fees. To get the deal, order directly on kfc.com or through third-party services Grubhub and Seamless. Those who prefer to pick up their meal can do so by placing an order at kfc.com and then heading to their local restaurant's designated pickup area at the front counter.
Del Taco
For a limited time only, use the promo code "DELTACONOW" to get free delivery from Del Taco through Postmates with no minimum purchase required. All packages will feature a protective seal.

Uber Eats
Uber Eats has waived the delivery fee on more than 100,000 independent restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.

All orders must feature tamper-evident packaging and can be left at the doorstep for minimal contact.
Dickey's Barbecue Pit
If you're in the mood for ribs or pit-smoked chicken wings, Dickey's Barbecue Pit has initiated contactless free delivery. The option is available at participating locations nationwide now through April 30. Like Chipotle, all Dickey's food will come sealed with a tamper guard.
H-E-B
Getting people their prescription drugs is just as important as making sure they're fed, so Texas-based grocery chain H-E-B is temporarily offering free delivery on all pharmacy orders.
