How will Chipotle lift itself out of its sales slump?

from The Week in Restaurants · host Informa Foodservice

How is Chipotle going to lift itself out of its sales slump?This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at the sales challenges Chipotle had last week and how the fast-casual burrito chain plans to lift itself out of its slump. We talk about Pizza Hut, which is closing 250 locations, as well as another Yum Brands-owned chain, Habit Burger. And a big Subway franchisee filed for bankruptcy after using merchant cash advance financing. We discuss that issue. On Tech Check, Senior Tech Editor Joe Guszkowski talks about vibe coding. For more on this year's Restaurant Leadership Conference: https://informaconnect.com/restaurant-leadership-conference/?utm_source=skot&utm_medium=radio&utm_campaign=rlc26
