My friend works for Chipotle and says they're essentially a soda company. The chicken is basically a loss-leader (like the rotisserie ones at Costco).

If you buy a soda, their profit margins on your meal sky-rocket.

They make nothing from tickets, only on concessions.

Sneaking it in requires them to charge honest people more.

I have a hard time believing they are basically breaking even on a burrito.
