• Communicating with Crew members and customers effectively to ensure great customer service and throughput.
• Ensuring the kitchen is properly cleaned and sanitized.
• Monitoring kitchen equipment and ensuring it is kept in good repair.
• Filling out Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Inventory Rotation (FIFO).

To succeed in this role, you should bring:

• The ability to understand and articulate Chipotle’s Food With Integrity philosophy.
• Knowledge of the primary language(s) of the work location.
