Customers are often forced to choose one another as many restaurants lack the flexibility for customers to enjoy both of these demands. One restaurant that’s goal has been to meet both of these crucial customer demands is Chipotle. Chipotle is a Mexican-food based restaurant that strives to offer a fast-service experience for its customers along with high quality and healthy ingredients. For the last twenty years, Chipotle is one of the fastest and biggest growing restaurants in the United States. Chipotle’s stock has been public as of 2006 (Market Watch 1). As of last year, Chipotle currently has 2,250 restaurants in the US (Market Watch 1). While Chipotle has undoubtedly been one of the most successful restaurant chains in the US over the span of the last twenty years, Chipotle’s stock has significantly dropped due to the recent E Coli infection that seeped its way into Chipotle ingredients last year.

This paper will provide an objective focus on the internal structures that have turned Chipotle into one of the most successful restaurants in the US by looking at Chipotle’s plans and marketing strategy, organization and leadership.
