I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online and received an email a few days later asking me to come in for an interview at the location. Upon arriving on interview the cashier gave me a cup for a drink and I sat down and waited. After waiting for around 45 minutes the GM of the store came out and interviewed me with around 5 other people at the same time. She said she would text us back the same day about a second interivew. 3 or 4 days later I got the text regarding a second interview. This interview was with the rude manager of the store and involved me waiting an hour just to be asked a single question, 'Why Chipotle?'

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
