Customer Interviews No.1

The unmet need/opportunity that I chose to identity was the long lines at Chipotle and how customers feel about it. Through my interviews with customers, I found that customers have encountered this problem, but they stay loyal due to their love for the food. Below are the list of questions that I asked each customer.

1.   How often do you eat at chipotle?
2.   Do you ever have to wait in long lines?
3.   What is the longest you have ever waited?
4.   Did chipotle ever compensate for the inconvenience? If so how?
5.   Has this ever stopped you from wanting to eat there?
6.   If no, what would be your breaking point?
7.   How do you think this problem can be solved?

Overall, I think that the interview process was a bit uncomfortable at first. I was very nervous interacting with people that I didn’t know and asking them questions. Even though I felt a bit nervous, I feel like the interview was very helpful in recognizing the unmet needs and the solutions that are necessary.

  1. I think that this is a great problem that is not yet resolved and could be very beneficial to customers as well as Chipotle workers and owners as it will make the workers' jobs easier while also not loosing the restaurant money. However, I think you should have more "What if..." questions to think of a solution yourself and see how customers would have responded. Besides that, I think the interviews were great!

  2. After reading your proposed idea and evaluating the responses it is apparent that your problem is a substantial one. I agree with the idea that Chipotle should try to compensate for the long lines and attempt to make its customers happier. I thought you had good interview questions as well and were able to clearly communicate the problem at hand. It also has relevance to the student body considering the amount of people that eat there.
