Would $163 million be so sickening for you?

Hyperinflated CEO pay is a tertiary symptom of capitalism’s malignancy. The sum is roughly 11,000 times more than the median Starbucks employee earns.

How much is this going to cost the Starbucks customer? The cost of these Special Starbucks drinks is already exorbitant.

We have to keep in mind, that Chipotle is not Mexican Food, it is mesmerizing the competitors of the Taco Truck Chain and Taco Bell who run out of sight and grow like the mushrooms they use in their salads.

So the Taco Truck had to move out of sight and hide near liquor stores and gas stations, or parks, or driving Miss Carlota and Jose Crazy going around the blocks looking for construction sites. Taco Bell could not cross the border anymore, stuck by the flood of immigrants at the Sacred Walled border from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Therefore, Chipotle had empty lands where to grow a culture of middle-class managers still identifying the cultural diversity in food taking. They can eat “Mexican Food with California Touch” and learn and speak Spanglish from the menu.

Change Management and Change of Leadership: Strategic Operational Innovation

Leadership Modeling

After graduating from Miami University in Ohio, Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol began his career in brand management at Procter & Gamble, where he worked for a decade.

In November 2005, he pivoted to food, where he’s been ever since.

Chipotle Mexican Grill tapped Niccol, then 44, for the top job in February 2018, when the brand was in crisis, weathering a lowered stock price, a drop in customers, and an unfortunate handful of foodborne illness outbreaks, which resulted in a $25 million federal fine.

On Tuesday, Starbucks named Niccol as CEO and chairman of the coffee chain, replacing Laxman Narasimhan after just over a year in the role.

Niccol starts his new role on Sept. 9, the company said in a statement.

The move of Brian Niccol from Chipotle to Starbucks without transition speaks loudly about the devotion and the sense of high fidelity of all the speeches made during the tenure of the CEO position in a given company that does not last and translate into staying with the same company for just building a successful enterprise that can be a model of loyalty and model of sincere adhesion to the principles expressed and presented as the beliefs of the leadership.

Leadership in America is similar to expanding a presence in a given market that is driven by the opportunities existing in the new territory, new market, or new opportunity.

Very upset with the Chipotle portion size of a burrito $10 for this is just ridiculous

I will consider going elsewhere if they are going to continue with this

GO GET STARBURRITO OR STARBURO AT STARBUCKS


We have to keep in mind, that Chipotle is not Mexican Food, it is mesmerizing the competitors of the Taco Truck Chain and Taco Bell who run out of sight and grow like the mushrooms they use in their salads.

It is like Disneyland with Aladin is from Saudi Arabia or the Lion King is from the Savanah. And if you believe in that, you should consider Blanche Neige as an American Fable.

Brian Niccol at Chipotle and the Fight of the Salary Increase

Brian Niccol, as CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill, has raised prices six times since 2021 and kept them high — even as costs flattened.

Corporate profits hit an all-time high in 2023. Profit margins were at levels not seen in decades. It just so happens that in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago. Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.



From Chipolte to Starbucks: From Pollo Loco to Cafeco Solo Americano

Starbucks did not hire the CEO of Chipotle for his good management competencies and skills, it was for his squeezing the drive through of the legislation that could increase the power to the workers and their representatives.

The rise in the California minimum wage from $16 to $20, which only affects fast food workers, equates to about a 20% jump for Chipotle labor costs in the state. To counteract lost profit margins, Chipotle raised menu prices by 6% to 7% in its roughly 500 California restaurants, compared to 2023 prices. The uptick affects menu-wide items and does not apply to Chipotle restaurants outside the Golden State.

California labor-cost increases, and subsequent higher menu prices, seem minimally impactful for Chipotle, considering its recent earnings report for the first quarter of 2024. The company revealed increased comparable restaurant sales of 7%, with a total revenue increase of 14.1%. The chain also opened 47 new fast-casual locations in that quarter alone, with plans for up to 315 more by year’s end. Nonetheless, Chipotle didn’t let California Assembly Bill 1228 take effect without a fight.

Chipotle and its fast-food cohorts across the state successfully obtained a ballot referendum for 2024, raising $71.8 million, partially in loans by outside interests. However, an eventual compromise evolved into the new AB 1228 legislation, which includes the $20 minimum fast-food wage and the establishment of the Fast Food Council. The law is now officially in effect, resulting in an estimated overall increase of 10% in menu costs, and counting, across dozens of California fast-casual chains. That comes on the heels of a reported 29% rise in fast food prices nationwide over four years since 2019.
