How Does Chipotle Increase Sales

Decent Essays
Chipotle has had a rough year due to E. coli incidents in a couple of states. They offered coupons to give away millions of free food yet that has not increased sales. I believe that Chipotle could boost its reputation and increase sales if they lowered the cost of their food. Many people would purchase their food if the cost wasn’t as high. Another way Chipotle could boost its reputation and increase sales is if celebrities or well-known people advertise themselves eating Chipotle. Once people see that the media encourages it, people would be more apt to buy Chipotle for themselves.

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.…

    Targeting and encouraging people to try innovative food in different countries is more complex than offering a free burrito.

However, it could be beneficial for Chipotle Mexican Grill to change that and start franchising in foreign countries in order to grow…

According to Jonathan Bernstein, a crisis PR expert, says that “Chipotle has built up so much good will with its branding efforts that it can withstand this major PR setback” The reason Chipotle could overcome this obstacle so well was because of the amount of goodwill it had produced before the incident with its customers.

    Because it is a chain restaurant, people often equate Chipotle with cheap, mediocre fast-food chains. Although Chipotle provides quick service and reasonable prices, it is remarkably different from every fast-food restaurant. With real ingredients and fresh food every day, Chipotle supersedes the pre-packaged, insipid frozen foods served by many fast-food chains. Lastly, anyone who has visited multiple fast-food restaurants, including myself, can see that they are much less sanitary and inviting in comparison to a Chipotle. I know from experience that I feel much better about what I am eating and where I am eating when I am at a Chipotle as opposed to most fast-food…

    This makes it seem as if, Chipotle instead of advertising itself, was advertising and promoting or sponsoring organic farming. We believe that it holds these values close to itself, because instead of slapping it’s own name everywhere it gives the message of organic farming more importance. The commercial makes it clear that Chipotle is against processed foods, oppression and harsh confinement of animals and stereotypical big…

    The crisis was particularly damaging because the crisis was a contradiction of one of the company’s key messages, “food with integrity.” Additionally, while the company made several announcements to ensure the company that it was committed to making its restaurants safe, additional outbreaks occurred following those announcements. While Chipotle did follow many best practices in using an open system approach, its crisis communications strategy was not able to prevent a significant loss in sales and customers. During the crisis, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2015, the company saw decreases in revenue, sales, its operating margin, net income diluted earnings per share despite having opened 79 new restaurants.…
