I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Temecula, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
I arrived ten minutes early and was told to sit in a booth with two others who were also being interviewed with me. We sat there for about ten minutes as the GM and Assistant manager were having a loud but private conversation where they were joking around and cussing and being extremely unprofessional. Then the assistant asked each of us a few basic questions and said he would let us know. The GM was on her phone texting the whole time and didn't say a word to us.
Easy, straight forward questions. Started as a group interview and ended up being offered the job along with 2 other people. It was very casual and no pressure. Interviewer was friendly.

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
