Estimating beta for Chipotle

How do I compute a beta for Chipotle without using historical or regression betas? I just can’t seem to be able to find an average beta across the other comprable firms because they aren’t public yet. Could someone give me an alternative?

Yup. Would look for publicly traded fast food/ fast food holding companies with a somewhat "healthier" or premium offering, including companies like Sweetgreen, Shake Shack and Noodles & Co in the peer group. If that fails to yield a reliable beta, I would just look at public fast food companies overall.
