I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Rockaway, NJ) in Oct 2014
Interview
You come on the first day and offer you a free drink. You then wait in a designated seat until the manager comes to interview but most of time they are not so they stall and put in an assistant manager or experienced employer. They ask you basic questions and then take you behind the counter and into the kitchen. They show different parts and how it works. They tell you to ask questions if you have any. ASK QUESTIONS! I personally couldn't think of any real questions I had because I knew the answer already. However, they really want you to to see if you have interest. Even if you don't have any real questions, make some up! Then they'll sit you down again and explain to you goals of Chipotle, History and whats expected
They'll schedule you to come in another day. You'll be interviewed by the manager. He'll question you about Chipotle history and etc. He or She will mostly ask questions how you handle stress or how enthusiastic you are. He'll then talk to employees to see if they think you'd be a good fit. Then he or she will tell you you'll get an e-mail on whether you are hired o not.
They really look for experience.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Denton, TX)
Interview
Interview process was straightforward and easy. You submit an online application. Then you do an in-person interview with a manager. The manager I met with was very friendly and the youngest ever at this branch (or district). She asked me general questions about my background, if I had experience working in customer service, food, etc., my availability, and asked if I had any questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Melrose Park, IL) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was very short and easy half the time these companies are in desperate need for employees and just want somebody with flexible schedules and someone who is reliable. Just smile and relax. I personally didn't even get asked that many question just got hired

Question 1
What do you think describes a good customer interaction?
The process lasted less than 10 minutes, and all the questions asked I was prepared for since I found them online the night before. Simple things like "where do you see yourself in 6 months," and "what makes you want to work here". Everything was extremely casual and it was not a group interview since I was hired during COVID-19.
