Denver, CO-based Chipotle Appointed Curt Garner as Chief Information Officer
About the Company
When Chipotle first opened, the idea was simple: show that food served fast didn`t have to be a "fast-food" experience. We use high-quality raw ingredients and classic cooking methods, serve in a distinctively designed atmosphere, and provide an exceptional customer experience—features more frequently found in the world of fine dining. As a fast-growing company, we`re always looking for new people to join our team. We provide real opportunity for advancement and a fun, exciting work environment.
