The fast food restaurants, McDonald's, and Chipotle, are the same in some ways, and different in others. I think both chains want to be, and are successful, but they also want the best for their customers. The difference between these two restaurants are how they go about achieving it. McDonalds wants the best for their customers, and achieves this by taking large amounts of time to create good tasting meals, but also using the best ingredients. In my opinion, Chipotle is putting in more effort to get even better ingredients, and fresher food than the ordinary fast food chains, such as McDonalds. Because Chipotle has so much pride in the outcomes of their food, and customers, they don’t get their animals from places where they are badly …show more content…
The head of Chipotle says that this is why their food tastes better, and fresher, which I agree with. These two restaurants are alike in the way that, they are both trying to do the best for their company, and customers. On the other hand, they are also different because of the way they receive their food, and the different environment the animals from. They are also dissimilar in the way that they advise their company to the public, such as commercials. Because Chipotle doesn't raise their animals the same way other fast food restaurants do, I don’t see much of a similarity to the american industrial factory. But because McDonald's didn’t address the way they raise their animals, I’m going to assume they get their animals from a slaughterhouse, because they have so many customers to feed. These places are similar to the american industrial factory, because animals are treated just as machines, and not living things. They have now made animals bigger, with more meat, so they can be slaughtered in a factory with workers, to be mass consumed by people. Both restaurants addressed healthy food choices. The CEO of McDonalds said that people see McDonalds as an unhealthy, greasy, fattening place for food, when
Chipotle Queso: The Key to Happiness Growing up I loved the flavors of Chipotle; the smoky meats, the charred peppers and the blend of delicious sides. One may ask why choose this advertisement for a company like Chipotle, because of the many persuasive images, textual messages, and vibrant visuals found in this mouthwatering piece. I consider this advertisement similar to an urgent announcement in which Chipotle is warning their customers to get excited that they finally have queso. Each and every day society craves food and as we all know, Chipotle competes with multiple restaurants in the mexican fast food field. My question is, what makes Chipotle stand out from the rest?
A. INTRODUCTION Chipotle Mexican Grill is a fast growing restaurant chain in the fast-casual dining industry. Fast-casual dining is currently the smallest segment of the restaurant industry with only holding 4% of the market (Hitt, Ireland, & Hoskisson, 2015). However, it is the quickest growing segment and Chipotle has managed to successfully capitalize on that growth. Since its founding in 1993 and going public in 2006, Chipotle has managed to hold onto a steady customer base and make profits due to their goal of offering inexpensive quick food without compromising on their high-quality sustainable ingredients.
The dedication, devotion, time, and loyalty Chipotle takes to provide its customers with top quality nutritious ingredients every day is praiseworthy. Even though supply-demand has often occurred resulting into unavailability of locally grown products, Chipotle has managed and continues providing a dish filled with top quality nutritious ingredients. As a result, competitors have never taken a strong position or any initiatives in providing customers with the best quality. One of the other strength of Chipotle is that it not only offers speedy and convivial service but it also provides a lively, restaurant ambiance. Also, another strength of Chipotle is its focused menu with an option to customize as per the customers’ liking, requires minimal employee training, enhances cross-training, escalates productivity, and increases
Company Background Chipotle’s mission statement is “Food with Integrity”. Chipotle about Us (2011) states that “Food with Integrity is our commitment to finding the very best ingredients raised with respect for the animals, the environment, and the farmers. It means serving the very best sustainable raised food possible with an eye to great taste, great nutrition and great value. It means that we support and sustain family farmers who respect the land and the animals in their care.
Chipotle has a major opportunity to increase its number of customers and most importantly its profits. Unfortunately, even though this fast food franchise has the capabilities of fulfilling the rise in demand, they still have to take into consideration all of the factors that can still hurt the company. As listed above in the analysis, Chipotle has to continue to improve their food and services to continue to bring in more customers. Their opportunity can also become a weakness in the near or far future, the current trend is to eat healthy, consumers may get over this fad and may not worry as much on the amount of calories they consume.
Chipotle is one of the most successful restaurant in the U.S. but every organization got some weakness and problems, today I would like to share with you what is the biggest chipotle’s problem ever that cost this restaurant a lot of money and lose trust from costumers and bad image in the media which is POISONING !! :- The fifth-biggest multistate sustenance harming flare-up of 2015 was the E. coli episode connected to nourishment served at Chipotle eateries in nine states. No less than 52 people were sickened, 20 of them were hospitalized. The episode was one of a few nourishment harming flare-ups connected to Chipotle this year including a Salmonella flare-up that sickened more than 60 individuals in Minnesota.
Hi Marquis, I agree with you, Chipotle does have quality issue. I have been to few chipotle joints, and I found that the food they serve many times its not that hygenic. Espcially, where are the foot steps as less, I have seen insects in the food. I am vegetarian, and I prefer that the staff change their gloves when they make me a burrito bowl, but they make faces when they are told to change their gloves.
On the other hand, chipotle has many meat options as well, such as chicken, steak, carnitas and more. There are many options to explore, or you can always go back to your go-to burrito bowl, salad, burrito, tacos, and even a quesadilla burrito from their secret menu! Chipotle has many options to explore, like most other companies weather food or not their are many aspects of that business. Such as financing, health, worker compensation and more.

With extras, the company’s menu offers more than 65,000 choices (Robert, 2010, pp. 54).
I just want to figure out what is so great about these two places, and figure out how they are the same, and how they are different. There are many people in the world that are in love with Chipotle. They even have there own chipotle rewards card because they go there so much. So, lately I visited Chipotle, and I tried out all of their signature food that people are always raving about.

The Chipotle Mexican Grill experience is an introduction to fast food 2.0, a new version of chain eateries that focus on quick, fresh, and hip food for us young people. Focusing on fresh ingredients, Chipotle’s ingredients are organic and their meat is not contaminated with chemicals, unlike most other fast food chains. When I step up to the counter, I notice a refrigerator filled with drinks. With a full liquor license, Chipotle also
Chipotle is in the fast casual industry where competition is extremely intense since there are so many different dining options. An industry like fast casual restaurants has a very high growth rate therefore there is not just one company that has the market cornered. What sets the restaurants apart is not cost but product differentiation; they position themselves in the market with their slogan of Food with Integrity. Since restaurants in the fast casual industry are priced fairly in the same range Chipotle uses different product features to set themselves apart from the others (parature.com). The first value driver in Chipotle’s differentiation strategy is the product quality; they utilize local farmers who are conscience of the environment.
