Chipotle Leverages TikTok as a Recruitment Tool
Chipotle Mexican Grill is hiring thousands of employees this year to meet its expansion demands. The popular fast-food chain has announced its latest hiring campaign will include TV commercials and TikTok testimonials to attract new employees. The brand has said it plans to open more than 250 restaurants by the end of 2023 and that it will create over 7,000 new jobs.

“Behind the Foil celebrates the heart of Chipotle — our team,” says chief brand officer Chris Brandt in a release. “There is no better way to make Chipotle more visible, relevant, and loved than to feature our talented restaurant team members preparing our craveable, real food while sharing their authentic stories.”

Grubhub Leverages Amazon’s ‘Just Walk Out’ on College Campuses
Grubhub is bringing Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” checkout technology to on-campus convenience stores. This technology allows customers to grab and go with popular convenience store items without having to go to the register. Shoppers will be charged for the items they take for a streamlined shopping experience.
To use the checkout method, consumers scan a QR code in the Grubhub app upon entering the on-campus shops. Students who want to adopt the technology must download the Grubhub app.
Grubhub announced that its campus business is partnering with Amazon to make the computer vision checkout system available to colleges and universities, with Loyola University Maryland set to be the first to offer the option.
“Our installation with Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is another example of how we are strengthening our relationship with our campus partners with cost-saving technology and driving student adoption,” Eric Ferguson, the aggregator’s chief operations officer, said in a statement. “The services and products we provide for our campus partners are designed to enhance and improve the dining experience, and we’re excited to offer this innovative and frictionless technology to our campus partners.”
