Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. builds its hiring plans around all the traditional seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter, burrito.
The chain intends to hire 19,000 workers for the peak March-to-May sales period it calls “burrito season.” The forecast apparently calls for more burritos this year, as Chipotle said last year it was planning to add 15,000 employees across its North American locations.
