Opposite the kiosks stands a wall of locked cubbies that dispense tacos, burritos and chips.<\/p>\n<p>The cubbies harken back to the days of automats that had populated Times Square in the decades through the 1970s, but Taco Bell said its new eatery represents the most \u201cforward-tech\u201d eatery in the chain.<\/p>\n<p>Customers can see their burritos getting wrapped in the open kitchen, but when the order\u2019s ready, it\u2019s placed in heated cubbies that then light up pink.

Last week, the Mexican style chain said it hopes to hire 5,000 people in one day later this month at some 2,000 restaurants across the country. Job applicants aren\u2019t even required to leave their cars to be interviewed and complete their applications.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Interior of new Taco Bell location in Times Square\" class=\"wp-image-17954179 lazyload\" width=\"618\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/taco-bell-20.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/taco-bell-20.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/taco-bell-20.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/taco-bell-20.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=618 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/taco-bell-20.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1236 1236w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 618px\"\/><figcaption>The Times Square location will also feature a new menu item, the $3.59 Bell Apple Freeze.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Taco Bell<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Irvine, Calif.-based chain is introducing a new menu item at the Times Square store, the $3.59 Bell Apple Freeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The store is the 20th Cantina in New York, which represents 10 percent of Taco Bell\u2019s locations and where the chain is expanding by 25 new eateries this year.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
