This article will specifically be addressing military discounts at chipotle. Chipotle, (also known as chipotle Mexican grill inc. ) is a chain of casual restaurants that are based in the United States. It is also available in other countries such as Germany, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom. 

Chipotle, being the big company that it is, does offer veteran discounts at participating locations but doesn’t offer a military discount as of their policies in 2022. It also gives discounts up to 30% off on veteran day (a day to honor the military forces of the united states). 

Chipotle’s discount :

At the discount, Chipotle gives out one free item from the menu (whatever the customers wish to pick) to a verified veteran, their spouse, or an active member of the military. 

Chipotle can verify if a person is a veteran or in the military by showing them the correct document – meaning their military IDs.

Even though chipotle only gives its veteran discounts at participating locations, it is important why stores should provide a military and veteran discount on the goods and services that they sell. 

Why is it important to give a military and veteran discount?

Encouraging buyers: Military discounts encourage and attract the families of people that are in the military or have already served (veteran) consumers to shop, irrespective of whether there is a sale in that store or not. Some military families shop on “military appreciation days” to get the maximum discount that they possibly can get to buy the products and services that they want. This helps in increasing the business of these brands and also helps in attracting customers.  

Business strategy: In addition to the 1st point, when you provide a military or a veteran discount, it not only attracts military and veteran customers but also attracts non-military and veteran customers. Other than that, the military community also provides a big opportunity to the sellers. There are over 8. 5 million consumers in the military and the veteran market. Currently, only 68% of military consumers enjoy these discounts. these things might sound like mere acts of charity, but they are sound and really smart business strategies that help brands expand their business in various communities.  

Social responsibility: On a more social level, it is our responsibility to care for the veterans and the people in the military currently and their families since they choose to leave the comfort of their homes and serve the country. War veterans are people who have spent four decades or more working hard, perhaps serving in the war, and otherwise supporting society in a lot of ways. By easing a bit of the financial burden on them, they let these people not only spend money on their needs but also on their wants.  

Therefore, to conclude brands as big as chipotle should start providing all-year military and veteran discounts and all of their locations. They should think of their military and veteran customers as their own and think of how these family members leave their families and go to serve our country so others can peacefully sleep at night. On a more business level: They get more customers (both military and non-military consumers) and let their old customers buy things that they couldn’t without the discount: thus Good business and good karma, both combined.
