Chipotle Mexican Grill is partnering with Palantir Technologies to build a food safety risk management platform. The system utilizes Palantir's Foundry software to centralize risk data.
The platform analyzes health department scores, pest incidents, and employee illnesses. It assigns a specific safety score to each individual restaurant.
This initiative follows past foodborne illness outbreaks that impacted company performance. Chipotle aims to use AI to identify risks and protect its brand.
Investor sentiment responded positively to the announcement. Chipotle shares rose 0.65% in premarket trading.
