The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Marysville, OH) in May 2012
Interview
The interviewer only asked me a few questions and talked much about himself. It only lasted a few minutes and seemed very focused on my ability to carry on the conversation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you done research on the types of foods sold at Chipotle?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Upland, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Pretty much started out with them explaining that the online application couldn't be printed out so they would be asking me questions about myself. Asked if i had another job, do i go to school, do i know what food with integrity is, why do i think i would be a fit for chipotle, and then they gave me a tour of the kitchen and their goals which is that everything is a team effort. Help one another, get crossed trained, and eventually move higher up into kitchen manager, service manager, general manager.
They also asked how often i go to chipotle, and i've been going since 2006 and i told them i used to go to that location before going to another in glendora, then the la verne location
it seems that me being upbeat and happy kept them interested, as they want customers to want that kind of a person serving them. Have a conversation with the manager rather than solely exchanging questions and answers. and keep smiling =D!!
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle in Aug 2011
Interview
I walked in to fill out an application, after hearing of their job openings. I was interviewed by all the managers except one. Mostly you should know what 'Food With Integrity' is, and go through the company's official website. Read the history and know who the founder is. Everything you need to know is on the website. Have a goal in life that you can relate to Chipotle; probably wanting to become a manager is the easiest goal. Be yourself. Dress for a typical restaurant job (no jeans, shorts, T-shirts, or sandals).
The interviews are held among the tables where customers eat. The orientation is also done at any table among the customers while they eat.
