According to CoinMeta, Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright indicates that the chain restaurant is addressing one of its biggest issues: high food prices. Boatwright stated during the financial report conference call on Wednesday that Chipotle's affordability score improved in the second quarter, and the company believes it has made significant progress in providing value to customers. As a result, Chipotle launched a high-protein menu this year and introduced a series of digital promotional activities for members, including free double protein, limited-time free delivery, and buy-one-get-one-free offers. Management also raised its full-year performance expectations, anticipating low-single-digit growth in comparable sales. On Thursday, Chipotle's stock price rose by 8%.
