I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (Aliso Viejo, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
They asked me multiple questions about my experience, and what I sought to achieve working there. Very basic interview. One of the main concerns even for the cashier spot was whether or not I had my food handlers license. They sat me down inside the restaurant and I was interviewed one on one. Relatively relaxed mood.
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
very easy, two interviews, one over phone and in-person, less than 30 minutes and talked with store manager and some of the crew, got a tour of the back kitchen ask about weekends and experience
Casual interview, sat at a table with manager. Asked basic questions about yourself, and your ability to work with others. Discussed food handling safety. Mostly focused on why I wanted to work there vs. other places and how long I planned to stay.
Cancelled a few hours before when I was on my way to the interview. Never once communicated with a human being and was never given any information after I scheduled the interview.
