I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Orlando, FL) in Aug 2013
Interview
They scheduled the interview at the same exact time they opened, so I had to wait at least 10 minutes for the interview to start. There were two other people there to also be interviewed but instead of making it a group interview, they mad it individual interviews. They basically asked the questions that I read here on the website. The lady that interviewed told me that she was being trained to become a manager. She wrote almost everything that I said. Just know about the company and don't come off as too nervous (which I was). She also told me that they look for management material when they interview because they like to promote within the company.
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.
