I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online, called to follow up, recieved a call for an interview with in the next few days. Some people have both group and single interviews. I had one interview with a kitchen manager, one with a service manager, and then they called to hire me. But it's more typical that people will have one group interview, one single interview and one interview with the manager.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a time when you handled an upset customer?
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
