Chipotle’s interdependence is strong. They perform better as a small group with more people. Interdependence is define as “the process by which a change in one part affects the other parts”. What influenced my assessments was when two others came in at noon. One of the two got to work on the assembly line which meant the order taker could get to customers faster since he was also juggling online orders.…
Chipotle faced some issues that posed a threat to the company. One issue was that some of the suppliers did not supply them with 100 percent farm raised food and animals. They were heavily criticized for not living up to the Food With Integrity mission. This is a problem Chipotle definitely needed to fix in order to win costumers over and also gain new ones. Another issue was that the company grew and expanded rapidly, however, they encountered financial challenges while trying to raise funds to open new branches.…

On Halloween night from 5:00 pm to closing time, you have the chance to get a burrito, taco, or salad from Chipotle for only three dollars! All you have to do is wear a costume and then add an unnecessary addition to it. An example would be a fairy costume and then add a mustache to your face or a ghost in high heels. The message that they are trying to say, from the costumes, is that Chipotle's food is made with all natural foods that are not processed or added with preservatives, such as how McDonalds, Burger King, and others' food are added with preservatives so that they can last longer. McDonald's and Burger King also have processed foods so that they can make the products at a cheaper price.…

The concept of the restaurant was inspired by the foil wrapped mission-style burritos Steve ate while working in San Francisco, California. When he proposed the idea to his friends and family, they were not too supportive about it. His dad’s response was “So you have six years of pretty expensive schooling here, and it's going to be burritos and tacos? Are you serious?”.…
MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND OF PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY Chipotle and Qdoba are two competing Mexican Grills in the Springfield, Missouri area.

Pregame meals are an important part of most sports fans’ gameday routine. My routine involves eating a Chipotle burrito bowl in front of my television prior to Tampa Bay Lightning ice hockey games. I do this in good faith that my routine will lead the Bolts, as they are dubbed, to victory. Gameday Chipotle just seemed to fit because after all, hockey is a sport full of superstition and protein-crunching athletes. By 6:30 on Saturday evening, I was ready.…
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) first opened its restaurant in 1993. The company’s concept of Mexican fast food made from fresh ingredients and customers being in line to pick toppings were still new and unheard of. Weirdly enough, people seem to accept and love it.

The success of the company was possible mainly for these two reasons - the company’s rapid growth rate as well as McDonald’s Corporation decision to invest in the company which resulted in more than 500 CMG units opened in 2005.…

Level of Involvement As mentioned in problem recognition, many customers usually go to fast food restaurants to satisfy hunger. Although the motivation may be high because of the strong desire of eating, the consumers’ ability to process information would also be negatively affected by hunger. In addition, consumers’ opportunity might be low in certain situations, such as during workday lunch breaks when they have time constraints. Because of different internal and situational factors, consumers normally devote limited attention and efforts in the selection of fast food chains. Hence, the involvement in this product category is usually low.…
