The opportunity at Chipotle is for an Apprentice position aimed at passionate individuals who have a desire to advance into General Manager roles. As Chipotle rapidly expands, opening a new restaurant almost every day, there is a growing need for leaders who can take charge in the day-to-day operations of these restaurants. This role offers comprehensive hands-on experience that trains apprentices to manage all facets of running a successful restaurant business—including hiring, training, scheduling, managing profit and loss, sales forecasting, and ensuring that guests always receive a top-tier service experience. Apprentices will learn to uphold Chipotle’s rigorous standards in food safety, operational compliance, and guest satisfaction. This full-time role typically involves working a 50-hour week with paid overtime, including evenings and weekends, reflecting the dynamic nature of the fast-paced restaurant environment.

Beyond the operational experience, Chipotle provides apprentices with valuable benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, a retirement savings plan, tuition assistance subject to eligibility, quarterly bonuses, paid time off, and holiday closures. Apprentices are expected to be guest-obsessed with a genuine passion for hospitality, leadership, people development, and growth. Previous experience in restaurant management is preferred but not mandatory for highly motivated candidates who want to develop professionally. The physical demands of the job include standing and walking for extended periods, lifting up to 50 pounds, and working in varying temperature conditions within a kitchen and dining environment.

Chipotle Mexican Grill prides itself on being a people-first company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. The company encourages all qualified applicants to apply regardless of personal characteristics and provides reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants with disabilities as required by law. This role is perfect for those who want to join a company that not only offers great career opportunities but also strives to make a positive impact on food culture and sustainability in the restaurant industry.
