How a 72-Hour Sprint Saved Chipotle
from The Operator's Manual with Fexingo: Daily Decisions, Tactical Wins, and Business Execution · host Fexingo
In 2015, Chipotle faced a food safety crisis that wiped out half its market cap. But the real story isn't the E. coli outbreak — it's what happened inside the company in the 72 hours after the first CDC call. Lucas and Luna break down the operations playbook that turned a near-death experience into a system-wide overhaul. They walk through the specific metrics Chipotle tracked, the supplier audit they rebuilt from scratch, and the decision to close all stores for a single four-hour meeting. Plus: how the same discipline that saved Chipotle applies to any business facing its own crisis. A tactical look at execution under fire. #Chipotle #FoodSafety #CrisisManagement #Operations #BusinessExecution #SupplyChain #Turnaround #CDC #Ecoli #Playbook #RiskManagement #BrandTrust #SteveElls #FastCasual #QualityControl #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
