This size of the portions of the fast food chain narrows
And frankly, we had to come.
Most of us can admit that we stumbled a chipotle server in the loading of our burrito or our bowl with a little more carnitas or salsa than they wanted to give us. And although restaurants are generally aware of this event, they are resolved to accept a certain amount of financial losses because of the imperfect portion system in a mounting chain. But a lot to our dissatisfaction, it seems that the days of getting free-ranges on the spot can be completed.

Provides, the pandemic can work with Chipotle in the fight against this widespread problem. As the chain fulfills more digital commands than ever, they also discovered that an unexpected side effect to prepare meals with a vigilant eye of the customer is that they are better able to serve more coherent portions of portions. As much as it is a great news for them, customers will surely be less delighted.
Jack Hartung, CFO of the chain, recently revealed during a conference that the size of the portions for their menu items is now much more accurate. Customers no longer benefit from social pressure put on their servers to require "little more, please" requests.
"We do not limit what the customer is allowed to do, or in terms of portion or adding additional ingredients," he said. "But our sizes of portions are much more consistent because there is not someone pointing at each stove ... The crew will simply see the way a customer looks at them and thinks," Oh, I'd better put Another Scoop to ".
When you place a command on the chipotle application, clients can always select an additional portion of any ingredient they want, but they have automatically charged an additional fee for this. You mean, we will have to get used to gettingexactly What did we pay? In a way we feel stolen.
The chain predicts that this temporary benefit to their net result may become permanent because the numerical order may paste after the pandemic. Hartung added that it also encourages chipotle to improve their execution on the front line when people orders in person.
