I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Brandon, FL) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied online because they were opening a new restaurant in the area, so as a individual with no prior work experience I thought it I would a very good chance at reviving a offer for the job. I applied online and the next day I received a call and was told to meet her at the mall, and I would suggest if you are applying dress very casual, t-shirt and jeans and tennis shoes, nothing fancy but don't look like a bum. I arrived 15 minutes early and was unpleasantly surprised to see it was a group interview and the man I was being interview against was a man easily in his forty and clearly was going to have job experience but they were very unprofessional and they did not even look at my application because when they heard I was still in high school they did not look at me for the rest of the interview. If you are offered an interview tell them you hope to own your own Chipotle in the future.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Bixby Knolls, CA) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview was pretty easy, but I had to wait 30 to 40 minutes after my interview was scheduled to be interviewed. Inside the Chipotle, it was extremely hot and really uncomfortable, but other than that, the interview was pretty easy. But I haven’t heard back, as I was supposed to get a call on Sunday.

Question 1
They mainly asked me for my availability throughout the week, if I’m able to work weekends, what my good and bad qualities were, and that’s pretty much it and hobbies.
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.
