I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Chipotle in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied online and 2 days later recieved a call to schedule an interview the next day. The interview was myself and the general manager. This store was brand new and hadnt opened yet. She asked me a couple of questions and she made me watch a video about chipotles restauranteurs. She gave me a second interview the next day and hired me. Since i was only 17 and my birthday was 3 weeks away they said they said I would start when I was 18.
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.
