Having worked for big company that does promotions like this, I tell you a couple hours before, we have hundreds of servers scaled and ready for when the promotion hits. Even during the promotion if we have more traffic than anticipated, we distribute the load across various regions and have those spin up more servers too.
On top of that, we would run a mock trial and see if our infrastructure is able to handle such a load like we anticipate. They must have outsourced IT or something for them not to be ready for something like this.

Brian Niccol's and his CIO (if Chipotle has one) just dropped the ball on this. Chipotle probably offshore their IT and went cheap. The stock CMG has a multiple like a tech company because of their growth. And they were using tech (their app) to sell, Chipotlanes. Well seems now that's a big lie. Go cheap on IT and give the money to Brian Niccol's and the C-Suite.
I have Chipotle GC and will be using it up. But I will never buy Chipotle GCs again. And never buy CMG Stock again. Their CEO simply dropped the ball.
Instead, I called the GM and complimented her (as she was very nice and helpful under major stress). Hopefully, that will be more valuable to her than a tip!
