“ SRM is a direct engine for menu innovation”
Carlos Londono, Vice President and Head of Supply Chain, Chipotle
How does SRM contribute to Chipotle’ s innovation in menu development? SRM is a direct engine for menu innovation. Long-standing relationships let us more efficiently and effectively meet our ingredient needs at scale. Since our partners understand our business and our commitment to using responsibly raised ingredients, we can introduce new menu innovations without having to onboard a variety of new suppliers.
What supply chain innovations are you most excited about for the next five years? We are excited about our work to leverage radio-frequency identification( RFID) technology to enhance our traceability and inventory systems at our distribution centers and restaurants.
As a leader in food safety, we take pride in being one of the first national restaurant companies to leverage RFID case labels to track ingredients from suppliers to restaurants through serialisation.
