Restaurant General Manager at Wichita

Job Description

One of the many reasons why Chipotle is unlike other fast food companies is the fact that nearly all of the leaders are promoted from our crew.
Many restaurant companies hire "professional" managers to run their restaurants and almost never look to their crews for new leaders. But last year at Chipotle, 97% of our general managers were promoted from our crews and because our company is growing, theres plenty of opportunity.
Countless people who came simply looking for a job now find themselves leading dozens, or even thousands of people while enjoying a career that is totally fulfilling, fun, and financially rewarding beyond anything they thought possible. Its pretty simple: If you work hard, youll get noticed and before you know it, youll be on a roll.

He/she oversees training and development of restaurant employees and effectively addresses the needs of the customer, the Apprentice, and other employees.
