Many customers have gotten frustrated with price increases at fast-food restaurants, which means they’re going to casual dining restaurants like Chili’s. McDonald’s is trying to lure them back by cutting prices.

These companies are trying to predict when the resilient American consumer will break under rising prices and stop splurging on things like travel and takeout. 

After more than two years of bargaining for a union contract, workers at the country’s first unionized Chipotle restaurant are calling for a nationwide boycott unless they can get an agreement.

Restaurant chains are following people who’ve left cities since the pandemic, but the expansion presents challenges.

They create both chaos and money-making opportunities for businesses.

The employees became the first in the nation to form a union at one of the fast food chain’s restaurants.

A Chipotle in Michigan and an REI in California are the latest to continue a trend defined by Starbucks.

“I think companies need to be accountable,” says Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol.

Chipotle is making executive bonuses contingent on hitting diversity and sustainability targets.

The fast-casual chain has turned around business since the health scares of years past.
