They are the backbone of Chipotle and, together with our support centers, we will continue to execute against our five key strategies that help us win today, while we grow our future.

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2024: Total revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.8 billion, an increase of 13.0% compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings and a 6.0% increase in comparable restaurant sales due to higher transactions of 3.3% and a 2.7% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 34.0% of total food and beverage revenue. During the third quarter we opened 86 new company-operated restaurants, of which 73 included a Chipotlane, and one international licensed restaurant. Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins, and returns. Food, beverage and packaging costs in the third quarter of 2024 were 30.6% of total revenue, an increase from 29.7% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to inflation across several ingredient costs, primarily avocados and dairy, higher usage of ingredients as we focused on ensuring consistent and generous portions, and a protein mix shift from the success of our Smoked Brisket limited time offer.
