Process Update: Respectful Workplace (RW) Automation in Salesforce 1/9

Previously when an agent has received an RW contact, they’ve been instructed to use the RW/Employment category, manually send an email to respectful@chipotle.com, and close as Closed – RW because the previous automation system was no longer working.
Good news! Starting on Tuesday, January 9th, a new RW automation process launches within Salesforce to make sure these contacts get to where they need to go!
Category Update
The category RW/Employment will now be split into separate categories – “Employment” and “Respectful Workplace” (updated MRM attached).
Salesforce Case Update
When adding the Respectful Workplace category to a case, agents will see a checked box that says “Send to RPE.”

This box is automatically checked and will send an email to the appropriate RPE employee, based on the restaurant attached to the case, for them follow up on once the category is successfully added to the case.
Can the box be unchecked?
Yes! There may be rare situations where the Respectful Workplace category needs added, but an email to the RPE team doesn’t need generated. In those instances, agents can uncheck the box.
PLEASE NOTE: Once the Respectful Workplace category is added to the case, the auto-generated email is sent immediately.
It’s important that agents have added all necessary details to the case (contact info, restaurant, date/time of visit, and any important notes in the additional description) BEFORE the category is added.
This auto-generated email can be seen under the Activity History section:


The email in Salesforce isn’t the prettiest, but here’s an example of what the email to our RPE team looks like:

The email will include the individual’s contact info, the restaurant name, the date/time of visit, the description, and anything left in the additional description of the case.
What if the contact is an inbound call instead of an email?
Great question! You may have noticed in the screenshot above that there’s a section in that email labeled “Call Summary.” If an RW issue comes in as an inbound call and needs to be sent to Respectful Workplace, please make sure agents are ending the call and having it attached to the correct case BEFORE adding the new Respectful Workplace category. As long as this is done successfully, the email sent to our RPE team will look like this:

What if the contact comes through as a chat?
This one is a bit tricky. Because we create cases via the SF Widget in chat, adding the Respectful Workplace category does not trigger the “Send to RPE” checkbox like it would normally.
Instead, agents will have to create their case via the SF Widget with a different category (like Need More Info for example), NOT Respectful Workplace.
Once the case is created, the agent can follow the link directly to Salesforce where they can remove the category used to create the case and replace it with Respectful Workplace to trigger the auto-generated email.
PLEASE NOTE: Just like with emails and inbound calls, agents MUST make sure all relevant info is added to the case before adding the Respectful Workplace category.
What if the agent forgets to add the restaurant to the case before adding the Respectful Workplace category?
An email will still be triggered, but it will be sent to the generic RW distribution list instead of the specific RPE employee that handles issues from that specific region. If the restaurant location is available to us, please have the agent add it to the case, delete the Respectful Workplace category, then re-add the category.
Re-adding the category will trigger another email to be sent – this time it’ll go to the correct RPE Employee for that region, and of course it will also include the restaurant information.
Closed Status Update
We will no longer be using the Closed – RW status on our cases.
This status was created as part of the original automation process that no longer works and it’s no longer needed for reporting.
Beginning on Tuesday, January 9th, agents should be using their usual closed status depending on where the case originated from – Closed – Email/Letter, Closed – Call Inbound, Closed – Messenger.
New RW Automation Quick Guide
Contacted via Email
Make sure correct restaurant is added to the case
Add Respectful Workplace category
Keep “Send to RPE” box checked
Close case as Closed – Email/Letter
Contacted via Phone
Make sure call is ended on correct case so the call summary is attached
Once the call has ended, THEN add the Respectful Workplace category
If added before the call is attached, the RPE team member will not receive the call summary.
Keep “Send to RPE” box checked
Close case as Closed – Call Inbound
Contacted via Chat
Create case via SF widget with a category OTHER than Respectful Workplace (e.g. Need More Info)
Once case is created, follow the link directly to Salesforce
Remove category used to make case and replace it with Respectful Workplace
Make sure all relevant case details are added to the case before adding the category
Keep “Send to RPE” box checked
Closed case as Closed - Messenger
Forgot to tag restaurant in SF case
Add restaurant to case
Delete Respectful Workplace category
Re-Add Respectful Workplace category
This will trigger a new email to be sent with the correct info
Keep “Send to RPE” box checked
Close case
An updated High Priority guide is in the works, so stay tuned for that to be sent out shortly!

Our LTO Brisket is making it’s return on Tuesday, January 23rd!
It isn’t launching nationally quite yet, but it will be piloted (running 3-4 weeks) in restaurants in the Sacramento, CA and Columbus, OH regions (restaurant list attached).
Carne Asada was deactivated from Brisket pilot restaurants by 1/12 for restaurants to focus on Brisket training.
So, what is Brisket?
Our Responsibly Raised® beef Brisket, seasoned with Mexican spices and smoked, seared, and finished with a Brisket sauce made with smoky chili peppers, will offer guests a delicious, new protein option to add to their entrée.
Additional information regarding the ingredients and nutritional information will be shared soon!
We won’t have any media above store promoting Brisket (no TV, Radio, Digital Banner ads, Social Media, etc.) but we will have menu panels in the restaurants.
It will be available on our digital menus and in-restaurant, priced at a +$1.50 premium over our Adobo Steak.
Please be sure to use the category “Test Items/LTO > Brisket” + any applicable Steak categories for comments about brisket. For example: “I ordered the new brisket and it was so burnt. I didn’t like it.”
Support Categories: Test Items/LTO > Brisket + Food Quality > Overcooked/Burnt > Steak

Tax Exempt Order Exceptions

There are states that allow tax exempt organizations exceptions from having a tax exempt ID.
However, in order to process a tax exempt refund, we must enter a tax exempt ID into Customer Admin.
Our Sales Tax team has given us instructions on a work-around! Should you have a guest that has this exception, please ask the FTEs in Webex for assistance.

TODAY: Smoked Brisket 2.0 Pilot

Our LTO Brisket is making its return today Tuesday, January 23rd!
It isn’t launching nationally quite yet, but is being piloted (running 3-4 weeks) in restaurants in the Sacramento, CA and Columbus, OH regions (restaurant list attached).
PLEASE NOTE: Restaurants that are piloting the Smoked Brisket will not have Carne Asada available to order in-store or online.
So, what is Brisket?
Our Responsibly Raised® beef Brisket, seasoned with Mexican spices and smoked, seared, and finished with a Brisket sauce made with smoky chili peppers, will offer guests a delicious, new protein option to add to their entrée.
We’ve attached the Nutritional Information and Ingredients List for Chicken al Pastor.
NOTE: Please do not send the attachment itself to guests who ask for the nutritional information. Instead, type out what specific nutritional information they are looking for.
We won’t have any media above store promoting Brisket (no TV, Radio, Digital Banner ads, Social Media, etc.) but we will have menu panels in the restaurants.
It will be available on our digital menus and in-restaurant, priced at a +$1.50 premium over our Adobo Steak.
Please be sure to use the category “Test Items/LTO > Brisket” + any applicable Steak categories for comments about brisket.
For example:
“I ordered the new brisket and it was so burnt. I didn’t like it.”
Support Categories: Test Items/LTO > Brisket + Food Quality > Overcooked/Burnt > Steak

REMINDER: Agents Providing Old CC Phone Number

We’ve recently come across an astounding number of examples where agents are providing guests with the old Customer Care phone number (833-860-0467) instead of 1-800-Chipotle.
We made the switch from 833-860-0467 to 1-800-Chipotle over a year ago and it is not acceptable for agents to continue providing the old number.
Please make sure that agents are reviewing their breevies immediately and updating this phone number to 1-800-Chipotle.

CARNE ASADA LIMITED-TIME-ONLY (LTO) OFFER ENDING SOON (U.S. and Canada)

Over the next few weeks, Carne Asada will be removed as a menu item, and restaurants will need to submit a digital menu deactivation request to permanently remove Carne Asada from all digital ordering platforms once they run out of inventory.
As a reminder, the restaurants in Sacramento, CA and Columbus, OH that are piloting Brisket have already removed Carne Asada as a menu item.
We’re bound to get contacts from guests upset we’ve removed Carne Asada from our menus. We can respond to them with the following:
Tone: Negative – RNAF
Category: Test Items/LTO > Carne Asada
Breevy: “Thank you so much for reaching out to us. Our Carne Asada was a limited time menu option and has since been removed from our stores. We're pretty bummed as well because our Carne Asada was so guac-tastic, but we're always working on new and delicious recipes for our guests so keep an eye out!”

NEW GIFT CARD REFUND POS BUTTON (U.S.)

If a guest asks for a cash refund on a Chipotle gift card that has a balance less than $10, we must provide them with cash for the amount that remains on the card.
Effective tomorrow, Tuesday, January 30, a new Gift Card Refund button will be added to the POS system to easily refund a guest for their gift card balance.
This is a Chipotle Cash Handling Policy requirement and is also required by law in many states.
For those trained on gift card cases, the Gift Card: Cashback Policy - Cashing Out Gift Cards With Balances of Less Than $10 Knowledge article has been updated to reflect this new process along with instructions to provide the restaurant.

URGENT | Employee Brown Bag Card Issue and Next Steps

Yesterday, around 6pm EST, all Chipotle employees’ remaining Brown Bag card balances were inadvertently wiped to zero dollars due to a technical issue (note that Chipotle employees have a “Brown Bag” card that is good for $125 to use at Chipotle each month).

Given there is only one day left in the month, it’s likely most folks were down to zero dollars anyway, but some may still have had a balance. Given the number of those carrying balances is likely low, senior leadership decided not to send a proactive communication about this. However, we want to ensure that we make it right for those who did have one and are concerned that the funds are gone.

Should we receive any related inquiries, please apologize for the mishap/inconvenience and refer the employees to customerserviceteam@chipotle.com. Our FTEs will assist the employees via email.

Confirming Potential Scammer Accounts (or False Positive Potential Scammer Accounts)

Salesforce has a filter that identifies guest accounts that may have a greater likelihood of being Potential Scammers.
For example, if the guest enters the Date of Visit as 7 days or older, the case will be filtered into its own queue that does not push cases to BPO agents.
When a case is filtered into that queue, the guest’s account is automatically flagged as Do Not Send Currency, and the case is Closed – Potential Scammer.
Unfortunately, this can result in “false positives,” meaning the guest may not be a Potential Scammer but is now identified as one in the system whenever they contact Customer Care from that e-mail address.
For example, someone writing in with a receipt request for an in-store purchase a month ago will be flagged DNSC.
As the filter has been in place for some time, these “false positives” may go back months or more, such as someone who was flagged on their only previous case a year ago and that case was not reviewed.
This does not mean the DNSC flag on Salesforce cases and Flagged status in LivePerson should not be trusted but that the context of the guest’s history should be taken into account.
When reviewing the guest’s case and refund/Sparkfly history, please keep in mind:

When reviewing the guest’s case and refund/Sparkfly history, please keep in mind:
Other Accounts and Cases tab
*******************************
A Potential Scammer may have many accounts linked to the same phone number.
These accounts may or may not already be flagged DNSC and may include additional information in the Notes column.
In this example, this is a Potential Scammer whose other accounts have been marked. The other e-mail addresses and phone numbers used are documented in Notes.
Person Account Details tab
****************************
Clicking on Account Name under Contact Details on the Salesforce case and then the Details tab may have additional information in the Description.
If the guest does not have any other linked accounts, you may see notes in the Description field explaining why this person has been flagged DNSC.
If no notes are present, it just means that an agent has not documented why the guest was flagged.
If the guest has other linked accounts, you will also see this information in the Notes column of the Other Accounts and Cases tab.
Case History
*************
In this example, the guest does not have any previous cases or any other linked accounts. They have been flagged because they entered Date of Visit as 12/12/23 but did not submit the complaint until 1/30/24.
If this guest became impatient and then reached out via live messaging or an inbound phone call before this case could be reviewed, the agent receiving the next case might be inclined to believe this guest is a Potential Scammer. This is where you should use prior Potential Scammers training, along with the Other Accounts and Cases tab and Person Account Details tab, to determine if the guest should be handled as a guest with a legitimate complaint or as a Potential Scammer.
If you believe they guest should have DNSC “unchecked,” please reach out to a TL to request a Chipotle FTE also review the account.

Rewards Exchange: Free Entrée Issue

We’ve noticed a trend the past two weeks of Rewards members exchanging their points for free entrees and not receiving them.
We’re unsure if this is affecting every exchange for free entrees or if any other offers are impacted, but our Loyalty team is looking into it.
Because we’re unsure when this issue will be resolved, let’s go ahead and provide guests with a replacement offer via Salesforce.
PLEASE NOTE: Loyalty offers expire after 60 days while Salesforce offers expire after 30 days by default. Be sure agents are extending out that expiration date when replacing the offer.
Let’s also be sure we’re doing our due diligence and confirming the following before replacing the offer:
1) The points were successfully exchanged and removed from the Rewards account
2) There is no corresponding offer when checking the CCID of the Rewards account in Sparkfly

Alleged Foreign Object Cases

To help clear up confusion about which AFO cases agents should and should not work, we’ve been
working with the Incident team’s manager to create more comprehensive lists.
Care is always cleared to work the following non-injury AFO cases:
Avocado Pit/Skin/Stem
Barbacoa Bone
Carnitas Bone
Bay Leaf
Bone – Unknown
Cardboard
Cartilage
Char
Chicken Bone
Corn Husk
Dirt
Hair
Paper
Plastic Bag Corner
Plastic Fork Tine
Plastic Glove Tip
Plastic – Hard
Plastic – Soft
Plastic Wrap
Plastic – Unknown
Steak Bone
Stem
Sticker – Produce
String
Care can be temporarily cleared to work the following non-injury AFO cases:
Foil
Insect/Bug
Rock/Pebble
Rubber Band
Tape
Toothpick
Twist Tie
Wood
How do we know when we’re temporarily cleared to work these cases?
The Incidents team will always clear this with Pat first and Pat will then alert BPO leadership.
Individual agents can also tell by looking at the Case History:

Joseph Gazzerro and Nicole Kitzmann are from our Incidents team and they are typically the ones that
will filter cases we can work into our AFO queue.
Care is never cleared to work an AFO case that involves an alleged injury or illness.
If an agent comes across an AFO that isn’t on the lists above and doesn’t involve an alleged injury/illness,
please create an SSR case or our Incidents team to review.
We are also working on future case and support category enhancements to help clear up confusion on
which AFOs Care should be working – stay tuned on those!

During this timeframe, we will advertise the current Barbacoa we offer as “Braised Beef Barbacoa” through in-restaurant marketing materials and paid media.

We anticipate guests asking if we’ve changed the recipe, so be sure to tag the category Marketing/Promotions > National Promotions and let them know nothing about our Barbacoa has changed.
Select restaurants that are included in the Smoked Brisket pilot (Sacramento, CA and Columbus, OH) will not be participating in this campaign.

New Knowledge Base Article: Bag Fees

What are bag fees?
In some jurisdictions, and in some cases state-wide, retailers are required by law to charge a fee for any plastic or paper bags and even disposable cups in an effort to reduce pollution.
The bag fee on the POS is not automatic or compulsory. When the cashier selects a “to go” option to tender the order, a prompt is displayed asking if a bag is needed. They have the option to select 1 bag, multiple bags, or no bags. In the case where a customer brings their own, or otherwise doesn’t want a bag, the cashier would simply select the “No Bags” option, and no extra fee will be added to the order.
Attached you'll find a comprehensive list of which Chipotle restaurants charge a bag/cup fee, how much is charged, and when the fee was put into place.
This list was last updated and sent over by the Sales Tax team on 2/1/2024.

Statement: Service Fee Update (New York, NY & Seattle, WA)

Currently, Seattle, Washington and New York, New York are updating their minimum wage requirements for all delivery partners.
Due to these minimum requirements, additional fees are being passed to Chipotle from Doordash.

We anticipate receiving complaints from guests in these areas regarding the higher service fees. Agents can respond with the following statement:
Tone: Negative – RNAF
Category: Delivery Order Issues > Value
Statement: “To account for regulatory changes in Seattle and New York City, increased service fees have been established for delivery orders placed on the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com.”
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure agents understand this only applies to orders placed at the attached restaurants in Seattle and New York.

TODAY: Five9 Maintenance

As part of our ongoing commitment to platform availability, we will conduct geographic redundancy testing and infrastructure maintenance the weekend of Friday, March 8th starting at 7pm PST / 10pm EST.
How this will affect your Five9 service:
Once maintenance begins, we will move your domain to the US East (Atlanta) data center with a 30-minute timer, meaning agents will have up to 30 minutes to wrap up calls before those calls are dropped. After the timer expires, all users will experience a short disconnection from the server, but will reconnect automatically.
Your domain will remain in the US East (Atlanta) data center until 7pm PST / 10pm EST on Sunday, March 10th. At that time, we will move domains back to US West (Santa Clara) again with a 30-minute timer.

As many of you may have noticed, we’ve seen an increased number of guests encountering issues with redeeming and using Chipotle Goods vouchers from our Rewards Exchange.
This issue was brought to the attention of our Loyalty team (thanks Mark!) and the decision was made to remove the Chipotle Goods voucher options from our Rewards Exchange.
For guests who previously exchanged their points for a code that never arrived/isn’t working, please provide those points back to them.

REMINDER: Block Wars (Minecraft) Promo 3/30

• With our history of successful partnerships across the Minecraft community, Chipotle has become a highly loved brand with the audience and we're continuing our streak by taking over one of Minecraft's biggest content creator competitions - Block Wars.
o Block Wars invites top content creators to play in a series of 8-9 custom Minecraft mini games (think Mario Party in Minecraft) that challenge their gameplay and creativity.
 Since the creators are invited for their cultural relevancy, the competition is relaxed and entertainment-oriented, rather than competitive like an esports event.
 Block Wars started small but grew organically and is expected to reach at least 10-15K concurrent viewers during this month's competition.
o "Order Up" is the mini game that will be Chipotle-themed during this month's competition!
 This is a team-based communication and resource gathering game. Players will compete against other teams to deliver as many food orders to hungry customers as possible.

o In addition to the branded experience, we're dropping the following codes:
 (3) Text2Win codes of 5,000 Chicken al Pastor entrees through text announcements on livestreams.
 (10) Text2Win codes of 500 Chicken al Pastor entrees through hidden Chipotle Bag "Easter Eggs" that will appear randomly for players during the minigames.
• Players will pick up these Chipotle bags in-game and the code with text instructions will appear on their screen for their audiences.


 While it is possible for guests viewing the livestreams to redeem multiple codes, it is highly unlikely that any particular guest would be able to redeem a mass quantity of codes as there are 30+ content creators livestreaming and participating in this competition.
• Most guests will only be watching 1-2 livestreams at most, and the 500 entree Chipotle Bag "Easter Eggs" will only appear on the livestream of a single content creator that grabs the bag in-game.
• Additionally, given our previous experiences and the anticipated 15,000 to 20,000 viewers of this event, many of these entree codes are likely to go within less than a minute, making it even more challenging for any specific customer to claim more than a couple codes at maximum as the codes will likely be exhausted before they're able to be shared online.
o Because these free entrees are expected to run out so quickly, we anticipate guests being upset they didn’t receive one even after texting the code within minutes. We can respond to those with the following:
 Tone: Negative – RNAF
 Category: Marketing Promotions > National Promotions
 Snippet: Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for any disappointment regarding the free entrees given away during Block Wars. This promotion is only valid until supplies last, and all for this code have been redeemed/claimed. Don’t worry though, we offer plenty of opportunities for our fans to score free Chipotle! If you would like to hear about official offers and other Chipotle related news, there are lots of ways you can keep up. If you have an online ordering account with us, you can go into your preferences to opt into SMS or email alerts. You can also keep an eye on our official social media accounts at https://www.facebook.com/chipotle, @chipotletweets on Twitter, or @Chipotle on Instagram. And last, but certainly not least, don't forget you can earn free Chipotle by signing up for our Rewards program here: https://www.chipotle.com/rewards. Thanks again for being a fan and we hope to have you back again soon!
• This snippet has been added to the Statements group!
• All free entrée codes will have an expiration date of 4/30/24.
o We will not be replacing these free entrée codes if expired.
o As with all text-2-win promos, please ask guests for a screenshot of the texts they received so our FTE team can verify if they were actually a winner or not.

California Price Increase 4/2

On Tuesday, April 2nd we are going live with a price increase for all California restaurants (approximately 485).
New menu panels and sneeze guard clings have already been sent out to these restaurants in preparation of the 4/2 go-live date.
As with previous price increases, we do expect to hear from guests that are upset with this change. We can respond to those inquiries with the following:
Tone: Negative – RNAF
Category: Menu Items > Price Increase
Statement: “Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I’m sorry that the recent price increase comes as a disappointment to you. Our Food With Integrity mission means that that we're committed to searching for the best quality ingredients from the best possible sources. In order to keep our mission alive, we’ve undergone a price increase. We appreciate your continued support as we work to make wholesome, delicious food accessible to everyone.”
This snippet will be added to the Statements group in Text Expander the morning of 4/2.
We should also expect to see an increase in catering complaints.
Any order placed prior to 4/2 with a pickup date on or after 4/2 will initially show prices pre-increase. Any modifications to these orders after 4/2 will automatically update and charge the guest for the increased price, even though the order was placed before the new prices went into effect.
Our catering team at 1-800-Chipotle has been directed to send these complaints to Customer Care so that we can refund the difference.
Again, this only applies to catering orders placed at a California restaurant prior to 4/2.

Extras Badges Display Issue

Rewards members are currently only able to see 50 Extras badges on their accounts.
Other Rewards members with less than 50 Extras badges may have frequent activity that has caused their Activity Ledger in CrowdTwist to divide into two or more pages.
Only Extras badges documented on the first page of the Activity Ledger will currently be seen on the app.

Our Rewards team is aware of this, and we still have records of all Extras badges that guests have earned even if they are not all visible to customers.
Should you receive a contact from a guest experiencing this issue, we can respond with the following:
Tone: Negative – RNAF
Category: Rewards Issues > Extras Questions/Issues
Snippet: Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I’m sorry you’re not currently seeing all of the Extras badges that you have earned. Our Rewards team is aware of the issue. We have a record of all of your earned badges, and we appreciate your patience while we work to get this issue corrected.

National Burrito Day: Burrito Bank and Free Delivery Promo

National Burrito Day is this Thursday, April 4th and we’ve got some exciting plans to celebrate!
Burrito Bank (4/2 & 4/3) US Only
In anticipation of NBD on 4/4, we’re giving our fans the opportunity to score BOGOs and enter for a chance to win free burritos for a year (FBFY)!
The Burrito Bank site (www.unlockburritoday.com) will open at 12pm PST/3pm EST each day on Tuesday 4/2 and Wednesday 4/3.
Players will need to assemble a Chipotle burrito in an attempt to guess the correct predetermined combination of ingredients.
There will be one winning combination players will try to guess on 4/2 and a different winning combination on 4/3.
Players will get 4 attempts at the combination each day the site goes live.
The first 50k players to guess the correct combination each day will be awarded a unique BOGO code via text.
This BOGO code is only valid for use on 4/4.
The BOGO code sent via text can be used online, added to an apple wallet to use in-restaurant, or added to a Rewards account for online or in-store purchases.
Each BOGO offer consists of 1 free regular menu entrée item (Burrito, Burrito Bowl, single order of Tacos or a Salad) with the purchase of 1 regular menu entrée item at regular price.
This BOGO offer cannot be used more than once or combined with any other discount, promo or offer and is not valid on Kid’s Meals or Quesadillas.
Players who guess the correct combination after the 50k BOGOs have been given away will see a screen advertising our free delivery promo (see more below).
Rewards sign-up is encouraged but not required to play or win.
Free Burritos for a Year US Only
Players of the Burrito Bank game who correctly guess the combination with their 4 attempts each day (whether they win a BOGO or not), will be automatically entered to win FBFY.
53 winners will be picked at random at a later date.
Isobel Futter will have a list of FBFY entries and the list of winners when they are chosen.
NBD Free Delivery Promo (4/4) US and CAN
To celebrate NBD, we’re offering our guests free delivery with promo code DELIVER at checkout on our app and website.
The promo code is valid on orders of $10 or more, but is not valid on catering orders, Burritos by the Box or on orders placed through third-party ordering platforms.
All guests can receive a $0 delivery fee on April 4th by using the promo code, not just Rewards members.
NOTE: Guests will still be charged tax and service fees.
Guests can use the promo code on multiple orders on April 4th.
Additionally, 4/4 is the only day the BOGOs won from the Burrito Bank game on 4/2 and 4/3 can be used.
We’re working on creating an NBD Snippet group for agents to use to field questions about these promos – stay turned for invites to be sent out soon!

When to Use the FO – Rock/Pebble SSR category

Friendly reminder that the FO – Rock/Pebble SSR category should only be used when a guest claims they actually found a rock/pebble in their food.
We’ve seen several examples where a guest will say something like, “the rice was mushy and given in big pieces like rocks,” or “My food was hard as a rock.”
There are examples where a guest is comparing their food to a rock, not saying they actually found a rock in their food. These are not foreign object cases and we can handle as normal!

Rewards Update: Restoring Expired Points

Traditionally when guests reach out regarding their expired points, we ask them to make a Rewards-qualifying purchase before we can restore those points to “activate” their account once again.
We discovered yesterday that this is no longer the case!
Moving forward, agents no longer need to request that a Rewards member make a purchase before we restore the points. This should improve both guest satisfaction and our handle times.
When restoring expired points, make sure agents are adding them manually and not using the “restore points” button in CrowdTwist (see below).


Adding points manually will reset the expiration clock, but using the “restore points” button does not.
We’ll update and distribute the Rewards training guide shortly.
Huge kudz to Mark for ironing out these details with our Loyalty team!

Bay Leaf (commonly referred to by guests as an “outside leaf”)
Yes, there is an FO – Bay Leaf SSR category, but we should only be using this category and sending it over to our Incidents team if the guest was injured by it.
We also have a Bay Leaf snippet (.bayleaf) in the Starter Library group that agents can use for these scenarios.
Let’s make sure we’re reminding agents that any comment regarding the objects listed above are not to be handled as foreign object cases.
Instead they should be using the Food Quality > Stem/Sticker category and handling per the Make Right Matrix.

Mini Tabasco X Chipotle Canada

All DML orders in Chipotle Canada will receive a mini Tabasco in their order during the month of June, while supplies last.
This is only for locations in Canada.
This is only for orders placed online/in app.
Each digital order will receive 1 mini Tabasco per entrée.
An order with 3 entrées would receive 3 mini Tabascos.
We will provide Snippets for a few of the anticipated questions we may receive later this week.
Once supplies run out we will not be restocking.
Our teams will be notified once supply is gone.
Guests do not need to be a Rewards member to receive the mini Tabasco in their order.
This promotion will not be heavily marketed – there will be a pop up in app for guests in Canada.

December 2023 Updates

TODAY: New Chipotle Goods Drops

We have two new items dropping on our Chipotle Goods site for guests today, Thursday, November 30th!
Napkin Holder
Inspired by our fans' love for Chipotle napkins (& stashing them in their cars), we created a Chipotle branded napkin holder that fans can buy on Chipotlegoods.com


Mystery Tee
Working with 4 different creators to create Chipotle-inspired t-shirts
Can order on chipotlegoods.com (US only) – but can’t choose which t-shirt you get, that will be the mystery
There will also be a handful of orders that also get a napkin holder as a surprise & delight.

December Extras Calendar

  • We found out today that each Napkin Holder purchased will come with a free entrée (to stock up on more napkins, of course).
    • Guests can purchase up to four (4) Napkin Holders at a time and each item will come with a free entrée rather than one per transaction.
      • For example, if a guest places one order of three (3) Napkin Holders, they will be sent 3 free entrees.
    • These free entrees will be sent physically in the package with their Napkin Holder.
    • Each free entrée will have an expiration date of 12/31/24.
  • Fun fact: The Napkin Holders have already sold out on the Chipotle Goods site!
    • However, fans still have a chance to score a Napkin Holder.
      • The first 25 orders of a mystery tee received on 12/4/2023 will also receive (1) Chipotle Car Napkin holder.

SSR

REMINDER TO ALL: Agents are to never ever work illness at all. Agents should be probing before offering compensation, so if the guest, at all, states they got sick or injured we must not work it AT ALL and MUST send the case to SSR specifically. not the "Create EC" button either. Agents have been doing that as well. This is really important. The client CANNOT think we don't know the procedure for the most basic direction.. Illness or hurt, its SSR and we do not work.
