Project Crunch is anticipated to increase revenues by 12% by 2019
compared to business as usual…
Project Crunch makes
available two price points
at an average of
competitor prices ($8.44)
and a higher priced
option that is still at a
competitive price
($10.28)
At the average
competitors salad price,
Chiboodle sales are
expected to increase
12% by 2019. While the
higher priced option
anticipated at a 17%
increase in sales.
*Price of $10.28 generated by the
average of two highest priced competitor
salads.
*Additional analysis of competitor foot
traffic is required for a more
comprehensive analysis of price point.
Recommendation
The course of action recommended would
be to implement Project Crunch at the
price-point of $10.28.

Per Location
…While new stores (2015) only accounted for 8% of total
sales despite over 200 locations being added…
Sales from 2015 stores
account for nearly 45%
less revenue than stores
built the previous year.
This may be a related to
location saturation due to
rapid expansion post
2008.
