You will soon be able to send chalupas to your friends over the phone.
Taco Bell on Sunday plans to launch its first-ever e-gifting service. The Irvine, Calif.-based Mexican fast-food chain plans to launch the Taco Gifter, a service that lets customers gift their friends menu items through the Taco Bell app or website.
Sunday also happens to be National Taco Day.
To mark the service and get customers to start using it, Taco Bell plans to give free tacos to the first 10,000 people who use Taco Gifter. The company is also adorning its crunchy tacos with a “seasonal gift wrap” for a limited time.
Taco Bell said that its Taco Gifter service will be a permanent addition to its app and website, enabling customers to send friends tacos for special events or just whenever.
“For years, Taco Bell has been a part of our fans’ milestone moments, from proposals to weddings to graduations and proms, and we’re excited to introduce a fun and convenient service to help celebrate any occasion in between,” Nikki Lawson, Taco Bell’s global chief brand officer, said in a statement.
Deutsch LA is the mastermind behind Taco Gifter. To send a taco, customers download the app and find the platform in the menu or visit tacobell.com/gifter. Users select a gif, enter the recipient’s name and a personal message, checkout and send a unique URL to their friend via text, email, direct message or any other form of communications.
The Taco Gifter follows the digital launch of Taco Bell’s loyalty program, Taco Bell Rewards.
