Chipotle Looks to Hire 10,000 New Workers for Digital Growth

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) began online ordering and pickup in 2018 and the growth has been strong. Digital sales grew 81% in the first quarter of 2020, and now the company says it's getting ready to open its 100th "Chipotlane," for drive-thru digital order pickup.

The digital business requires more staff than the traditional restaurant, and the company said it would seek to hire 10,000 more workers over the next few months. Positions to be filled include hourly and salaried management positions, as well as staff jobs. Chipotle said of the 19 new restaurants opened during the first quarter of 2020, 11 contained a Chipotlane, which are now present in 32 states.
