We are changing the face of fast food, starting conversations, and directly supporting efforts to shift the future of farming and food. We hope you will join us as we continue to learn, evolve, and shape what comes next on our mission to make better food accessible to everyone.

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)

  • 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
