Chipotle built a wildly successful business model by focusing on sustainably sourced, high-quality ingredients. But the brand has also garnered a lot of attention over the past two years for some food-safety speed bumps. The brand has been very transparent, though, about how it's tackling those issues to create a thriving food-safety culture.
That mission will be the focus of an hour-long session with Chipotle Executive Director of Food Safety James Marsden, at this year's Fast Casual Executive Summit, Oct. 7-9 in Seattle. The session, "Chipotle's Food Safety Turnaround and Lessons Learned," will outline the strategies that Chipotle is deploying in its food-safety transformation.
Doug Sutton, president of Steritech —a company that designs and implements food-safety assessment and operational assessment programs —will conduct the on-stage interview.
"Chipotle has some really powerful insights and lessons to share with others in the industry," Sutton said. "This is a rare opportunity to see 'behind the curtain' of another major chain, and I think it will be an eye-opening session for anyone who attends, including me."
Marsden will specifically discuss:
- What Chipotle has learned and how it's reinvigorating food safety efforts in its restaurants to regain customer trust.
- How the company is achieving supply chain safety.
- How Chipotle is measuring and monitoring food-safety success.
- What risks should be on a restaurant chain's radar.
- Best practices that all chains should adopt.
