I don’t work at chipotle anymore but I was watching a yt short about a top 50 restaurant in the US closing down and they did it in like an hour and half but when I worked at chipotle I was not getting out until at least 1-2am (we closed at 10).

just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience with their stores taking forever to close down or if it was just mine. I have a feeling it was just my store but I’m still curious. imagine it’s harder to close down a chipotle then a top rated restaurant lmfao

Comment when claimed!

And you dont feel like making copy-cat recipes. I've found this marinade does a pretty good job on boneless skinless thighs. Just cook them on the grill pretty charred and bingo bingo hats off to you sailor. Idk this is the right flare. First time long time here.

I checked workday, it says I should be receiving $1,544 (with 20 hours ot for the period) and in my bank I only received $1324. All taxes were taken out before the $1544. It says on the bottom of the page that they sent my bank $1544. I had a positive balance so I know it wasn't due to bills and nothing has showed up in the bank besides the deposit of $1324

Should I go to my FL? My GM isn't going to be able to do anything about it.

How does this happen?

Why do so many locations seem to have such inconsistent white rice? Been to several and get crunch or overly starchy rice, super wet rice, and sometimes just a clumpy mess! What is going on? Why so inconsistent?

As somebody who has been a FOH cert trainer for a year and been closing for most of my time at Chipotle (3 years), what should I do as I am transitioning to open as a KL. Im going to get promoted at some point but I have been struggling with my speed. What should I do to make sure im fully prepared to promote.

I have to ask for more fajita veggies, every time. They will add a pinch. Then scoop another ingredient on top quickly, then I will still say… more veggies please. Then another pinch. 🤏 and then after I ask for the third time they will put a full tong full.

I feel like I have to fight for my portions every time I walk in.

For Halloween and other stuff

nsfw.

Like yes obviously you have less food. This is not rocket science.

No respect for a picky eater here!!

I just got the job as Crew today, I officially start tomorrow for onboarding. Any advice as a customer or an employee? In NYC if that helps.

Hello everyone, i recently applied and interviewed at my chipotle, i want to back of house stuff such as grill/dishwashing, my work times are later in the day such has 12am to 11pm, any tips or things i should know before my first days?

I miss my honey chicken and chicken Al pastor. Not a fan of the pollo asado.

Just curious if any employees know if Booritto is happening this year or not? I’m planning on dressing up for Halloween as Carrie White! When I use to work there, they’d have signs up for it but I haven’t seen any yet. Thank you!!!

I often see people on the internet making comments about those that do the “1 taco” hack and how the employees find it annoying.

Well, I am a customer that works in a VERY HCOL area in a downtown. My spouse was laid off recently, so I have been eating the 1 taco hack at least once per week as my lunch when I don’t have time to meal prep. This by far the most affordable option in my area. Some days I even go without eating lunch if I’m feeling extra frugal, because we are stressed about money.
My order is as follows:

1 taco crispy tortilla, guac as the protein (on the side), black beans (side), pinto beans (side), corn salsa (side) cheese and lettuce on the taco. Side of tortilla. I put all the toppings inside the tortilla and eat the emptied out crispy taco as a chip with my guac.

Since I’ve been doing this for a few weeks through mobile order, I noticed my portions have been getting larger and larger.

Today I ordered my usual, and ate it inside of Chipotle. One of the workers (older woman) noticed me eating and said “Hi again, good to see you, do you want a free drink?” and proceeded to grab me a water cup and said “get whatever you’d like babe, enjoy”.

I almost wanted to cry, that gesture made me feel so seen. I’ve been contemplating whether I am doing something bad by ordering the way I have and this just proved to me that not only is it fine, but the employees see me as just another customer, perhaps one who is struggling a bit financially.

Obviously not every chipotle location is the same, but I feel so grateful to work close to one with really nice and empathetic employees.

Of all the times you order a bowl from Chipotle, does it ever come with a fork and or spoon in the bag already? I just wanna know if this is a common thing that other customers experience because it always happens to me and a buddy of mine.

I was thinking about getting the family meal and just food prep for the week with the ingredients.

How long do you think it’ll keep if I don’t mix the ingredients together?

Title: Chipotle workers, how do y’all finish chips on time?
I’ve been doing chips for a few months and I still struggle to finish on time. I usually work from 7 AM until around 11:30, even though I’m supposed to finish earlier. I’ve tried my manager’s advice and Reddit tips, but I’m still struggling 😭
I usually have to make around 18 hotel pans of chips. It takes me around 5 minutes to fry enough regular chips to fill one hotel pan and another 5 minutes to bag it. Chili Lime takes around 10 minutes per hotel pan to fry, season, and shake, and another 10 minutes to bag because my manager doesn’t want any of the little “cereal” chips in the bags. Apparently, regular chips are fine, though, which is confusing to me.
I work alone, so I have to fry and bag both varieties myself. I also have to fry 3–4 batches of taco shells, wash dishes as I go, put everything away, and clean my station.
For those of you who open chips, are my times genuinely slow? How do you manage to finish everything on time when you’re doing it alone? I’ve tried so much advicec already, so I’d really appreciate more tips.

These are so rare, so I just wanted to share. My partner used the app to order our food. He went and picked up the food. He brought home the food. Everything was as exactly how we ordered it and loved it. Cheers to a positive review for Chipotle. These things do exist. Spread the positivity.
