is bumping pay for new and existing hourly and salaried workers, which will drive wages for hourly crew members up to $11 to $18 per hour . The average hourly wage will be $15 per hour by the end of June, the company said.
Chipotle is also promising a career path for interested workers, which will lead them to the “restauranteur” title, the highest general manager position, and an average pay of $100,000 in 3.5 years.
“Chipotle is committed to providing industry-leading benefits and accelerated growth opportunities, and we hope to attract even more talent by showcasing the potential income that can be achieved in a few short years,” said Marissa Andrada, chief diversity, inclusion and people officer at Chipotle, in a statement.
The company has also introduced referral bonuses for workers: $200 employee for crew members and $750 for “apprentices” or general managers.
