Our restaurant teams are the core of our organization and with a long-term goal of increasing Chipotle's footprint to 7,000 locations in North America, we are targeting employees today to serve as our leaders of tomorrow. We will continue bringing in new crew to support Chipotle's aggressive growth plans, while simultaneously promoting and upskilling those currently in role.
Though our heritage is one of transformation and innovation, one thing will never change: Chipotle’s commitment to doing what’s right. Our relentless pursuit of ethical choices at all times is what has built trust in Chipotle—from our customers, business partners, colleagues, and investors.
CEO Scott Boatwright believes that how we grow our people is how we grow our future. Authenticity is always encouraged so people bring their true selves to work every day.
As a people first company, we have invested in human capital technology over the past several years to enhance the team member experience and build capabilities in our restaurants, creating a more efficient and consistent environment. We ask our team members which functions of the job are the least desirable and put initiatives in place to enhance these areas. Our ongoing investments in employees are showing early results in increased retention and better recruitment.
Working together to cultivate a better world. In the restaurant, it means ensuring we’re providing a positive experience every day for our guests.
