I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Beverly Hills, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied online and a week later they call me to come the very next morning for an interview. It was a new chipotle opening up and there were a bunch of people there waiting outside which kinda made me nervous heh. It took about 45 minutes to start the interview process because one of the other interviewers was running late. I did the interview with another person and we were interviewed by the new manager running the new chipotle and a restaurateur. They asked us fairly basic questions like tell me about yourself, strengths/weakness, etc. I thought I did fairly well and I was right since both of us got punched in for a 2nd interview the next morning! The 2nd interview was done with a group of 4 and both the same interviewers plus another restaurateur that owned 4 restaurants. You would think it would be one intimidating interview but they were all nice and chill. The other 4 people being interviewed with me were all friendly and got great vibes off them, we also laughed quite a lot cause the other restaurateur was cracking jokes haha. It made the interview 10x more relaxing and somewhat easier. The first part of the interview was pretty serious asking us questions like where do you see yourself in 2 years, situational stuff, and why should I choose you over the other 4 here.They also asked a of lot questions regarding the videos on their webpage and youtube acc. We were the last 4 that were interviewed that day and they told us were the first 4 hired after it was done!!! The restaurateurs and general manager made this a very pleasant interview experience. I think I'm going to love working here :)
Asked questions about what positions work best for you, why you want to work there, what makes you a good fit there, where you see yourself in 5 years. Very simple and open to answer any questions I had
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
The interview process included an application, attending a brief in-person interview, answering questions about teamwork, availability, customer service, and attitude, and was sometimes followed by a same-day or quick hiring decision.
