Throughout the process they are serving as a role model for Crew members, helping them learn to become future Kitchen Leaders. At its core, as with every position at Chipotle, it is about promoting teamwork and creating a great customer experience.

  • Ensuring that the kitchen itself and all Crew members meet the necessary guidelines to ensure there are no injuries or accidents

  • Filling out Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Inventory Rotation (FIFO)

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TABLE

  • Have the ability to understand and articulate Chipotle’s Food With Integrity philosophy

  • Have the knowledge and ability to speak, write, and understand the primary language(s) of the work location

  • Have a high school diploma

  • Have restaurant experience
