“We believe that food has power to change the world” We do it by being real. Chipotle was born of the radical belief that there is a connection between how food is raised and prepared, and how it tastes. Real is better. Better for you, Better for people, better for our planet. It may be the hard way to do things, but it’s the right way. Making food fresh every day. NO artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. No freezers, can openers, or shortcuts.

How we grow our food is how we grow our future
One of the first national restaurant brands to commit to goals on local and organic procedure. First national restaurant brand to commit to using only responsibly raised meat with some of the highest animal welfare standards. No added hormones. Ever. We commit to divert 50% of our waste from landfills during 2020. Gloves to bags. In 2018, we began a pilot program recycling our used plastic gloves into waste bags that we use in 43% of our very own restaurants. Being real means treating our people right . Supporting people who live our values with real culinary trainings, career opportunities and great benefits. One meal may not change the world, but the way we make it might.
