Chipotle Mexican Grill

CULTIVATE A BETTER WORLD

Food served fast does not have to be a typical fast-food experience. Chipotle has always done things differently, both in and out of our restaurants. 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.

As Kitchen Leader, you will learn how to prepare great food, grill meats, and sauté vegetables. You are responsible for making sure our food is absolutely delicious. You'll order the food and train others to become future Kitchen Leaders.

The Kitchen Leader helps ensure the quality and safety of Chipotle's delicious food every day. They see to it that the kitchen is clean, organized and well stocked; and that the equipment is properly maintained and in good condition. 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. While on the clock, the Kitchen Leaders are always busy on their feet, accomplishing their station's goals, taking on tasks that they see that need to get done, and pitching-in to help their teammates.

  • 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

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

  • Tuition assistance (100% coverage for select degrees or up to $5,250/year)

  • Free food (yes, really FREE)

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • Digital Tips

  • Paid time off

  • Holiday closures

  • Competitive compensation
