I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Oceanside, CA) in May 2013
Interview
If you walk in you get a card that you fill out. Then you go online and fill out an application. Then there is one group interview with the restaurateur and another interview with the assistant. The assistant told me that I would get a call back in 24 hours but when I called them they told me that I was going to get a call back on Friday. So I called them on Friday where they told me that they had filled the position.
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.
