Chipotle recently increased their food prices and worker wages in US
This incident at Chipotle comes approximately a month after the company raised prices for customers and increased wages for its workers nationwide.
“We did take a modest price increase of 6% to 7%. We’ve been watching the traffic since we took the price increase. We’re not seeing anything yet, we’re not seeing any change in behavior yet,” CFO Jack Hartung said in May.
“It’s very early, so we’ll keep a close eye on it.”
Hartung noted that Chipotle regulars continue to frequent the restaurant chain, and the company expects to sustain an elastic consumer base suitable for their quick service model.
“We had a great first quarter. We had a 7% comp and more than 5% of that was driven by transaction growth, which I know is tough to come by in this kind of environment,” the CFO pointed out.
Hartung also highlighted, “The thing we’re most proud of, when you look at our customers by income brackets, our low income consumers came at the same rate as our high income consumers.”

Reflecting a message similar to that of celebrity chef Robert Irvine, Hartung discussed Chipotle’s investments in technology and automation, specifically in robots that can handle simple tasks without replacing human workers.
According to Hartung, Chipotle’s line chef robot will focus solely on online orders, which is expected to minimize ingredient mistakes and ensure timely deliveries.
