Chipotle

Chipotle is a popular mexican-american restaurant throughout the country. Known for their burritos and tacos, Chipotle is a popular spot for teens and young adults. Chipotle is a fast food restaurant that offers quality food prepared with fresh ingredients unlike its competitors. Chipotle uses organic meat and vegetables grown on local farms for a fresher unique taste that is not offered by other fastfood restaurantes.

Almost all of the meat served in Chipotle restaurants is naturally raised, defined by the company as "coming from animals that are never given antibiotics or added hormones and that are raised responsibly—that is, in accordance with our animal welfare standards." While Chipotle targets using only naturally raised chicken, beef, and pork in its restaurants, supply chain issues occasionally cause restaurants to switch to conventionally raised meat.

Chipotle started off as a single mexican restaurant in Colorado and now has over 1500 restaurants and a net income of 278 million dollars with total staff of only 37,310 employees. Starting off in the United States Chipotle has now spread to the United Kingdom, Canada, and France. 


I chose to write about Chipotle because it is one of my favorite places to go to eat. I go there a lot on the weekends and sometimes after school when I would get out of football practice. Chipotle's employees always offer quality, fast and friendly service.  Chipotle is a good alternative to fast food restaurants being a healthier option with food that is fresh.
