00:07desk salad now lumped into the larger category called slot bowls despite the name these healthy
00:13salads and grain bowls topped with a variety of freshly prepared vegetables and proteins from
00:18places like kava sweet green and chipotle can easily cost 15 or more as a result many customers
00:25including myself have stopped buying them as much and companies are feeling the sting in its most
00:31recent quarterly results sweetgreen said its same store sales fell 9.5 compared to last year
00:38chipotle said theirs will be in the red for the year too and kava with the best news of the three said it
00:44will still see sales growth just less than it had predicted the thing is people still want healthy
00:51lunches so what's the solution that satisfies consumers and companies alike there is one
00:57obvious way to drive down the cost of bowl making offer smaller salads at a discount sweetgreen at
01:04least has seen the writing on the wall and told investors it's evaluating its prices and is
01:09providing some lower priced seasonal options and 13 dollar bowls chipotle and kava though have pushed
01:16back on the idea but if discounts and promotions have helped revive sales at mcdonald's and burger king
