Who are Chipotle's decision-makers?
Chipotle is led by CEO Scott Boatwright, CFO Adam Rymer, and strategy and technology leader Curt Garner. Buying decisions are usually cross-functional because restaurant changes affect operations, food safety, guest experience, technology, and margin.

Scott Boatwright became permanent CEO in November 2024 after leading restaurant operations. Adam Rymer stepped into the CFO role after a long tenure in Chipotle finance, while Curt Garner leads strategy and technology after building much of the company's digital platform.
Who actually makes buying decisions at Chipotle?
Restaurant operations, finance, technology, supply chain, marketing, food safety, legal, and procurement all matter depending on the category. A store-equipment vendor needs operations and finance sponsorship; a loyalty or personalization vendor needs marketing, technology, data security, and guest experience alignment.
How is Chipotle organized as it scales?
Chipotle's company-operated model keeps core decisions centralized compared with franchised restaurant peers. That helps standardize technology and operations, but it also raises the bar for evidence: a system change needs to work across thousands of restaurants and a large hourly workforce.
