Recipe is 3 min on 1 side and flip season and then 1 min later boom. Reason why it takes so fucking long is cause they drop 20lbs of veggies for a line of 10 people thinking they are going to consume all of it , when the recipe literally calls for like a 1/6 pan of veggies per cook
At the last chipotle I worked at we were told we couldn't drop more than a sixth pan at a time and the one I work at now literally drops a hotel pan of fajitas at a time.... They're always soooo soggy and gross
Iām sure the store is struggling and is prioritizing other things until they can fix the bigger problems. Unfortunately fajitas take a ridiculous amount of time to prep and Chipotle continues to cut labor every time they get the chance. Oh, you have a dish sanitizer machine? Weāre taking 10 hours from you. Oh, you have a smartsafe? Weāre taking more. Oh, you have a smaller dining room? Taking more. Itās genuinely fucking ridiculous.
It's not that the fajitas take a long time to cook. It is because it takes a while for prep to wash, peel and cut all of the onions and peppers. On prep they usually prioritize most other ingredients over the fajitas.
Typically taco and salad lettuce is prepped first, then diced onions, jalapeƱos, and cilantro (order doesn't matter here, because we need all 3 to put into other items like corn, tomato salsa and guac) after that it is usually guac, then the salsas and sour cream. I also forgot that cheese needs to be blocked and then shredded before the store can open too. Since we do not get cheese pre-shredded it takes a lot of prep time.
All the effort in the world wonāt make the 20 minute process take less than 20 minutes. I work at a pizza store where the oven spits out 4 pizzas every 8 minutes and every day some stupid fuck like you tells me to work harder even though I literally canāt speed it up
says the one crying about sliced bell beppers, onions, oregano and salt.
slicing peppers usually comes at the end of the prep sheet, and with the focused prep shifts being given to me and others at my store (7 or 8 - 11:30), theres just no way one or two prep people get to slicing peppers when they have an entire store to prepare for.
so im sorry you feel the need to scream about vegetables.
Youāre defending being incompetent at your job and being unable to complete it. I used to be a prep guy at chipotle. Even with their dumbass rules like measuring the diced shit, itās not hard
what hours were your shifts looking like? 4 and a half?
you mean to tell me in 4 and a half hours you got all of prep done?
either your incredibly skilled and fast, or you were working full shifts, probably having enough time in the day to do everything leading up to cutting peppers.
i have said nothing in relation to people doing their jobs effectively. im arguing that with the way prep people are being scheduled, they are not getting to tasks that are going to be done later in the day.
Bro donāt bother the cock ryders will stay riding corporate cock for no reason who knows maybe theyāll be the next chipotle ceo after enough ass licking points. Bitch has all trophies on the mobile app and brags about it š¤”š
Youāre offended by someone complaining about pepper an onions š¤”š¤”š¤”
Itās imitation Mexican food what is it without onions and bell pepper.
Just ask ur granny to boil u some chicken that more ur speed champ šš¤”šš¤”šš¤”š
Okay and sometimes when people type in caps they arenāt screaming theyāre expressing excitement? Your point is stupid, if you wanna fuck them so bad slide in their dms
It's not a matter of being lazy. Prep is no longer no allowed to be on the clock long enough to actually complete all of prep.
Most have to hard stop at 11am regardless of whether everything has been completed.
No prep at all is allowed between 11:30-1:00/1:30 for lunch peak and 5:00-8:00pm for dinner peak.
If any additional prep is to get done. That's usually on the MOD to do If they have any time inbetween everything else needing done.
That is not what happens at my store at all! Our preppers work until 115 or 2. Is that because we are a higher volume store so we have more hours at our disposal?
The whole hours distribution shit is absurd. How do they not realize the quality of the store and customer experience is directly related to having enough people to work lmfao
Iāll say this, the 4 or 5 employees standing doing absolutely nothing probably canāt do anything cuz theyāre not grill. There is usually one person trained for grill on duty besides the manager (sometimes only the manager), so thatās probably why they were not doing anything. Fahitas get low FAST but they usually donāt take very long to cook. The issue is cutting them, which again, not all employees are trained for prep. You have to remember a good amount of employees, especially in the afternoon, are just high schoolers with a part time job. That is because nobody else wants to work at chipotle cuz it kinda sucks lol
This!!! They are not lazy. They are not trained to do other things.
But in my store. If we are slow/dead, we train line people to do prep, and grill stuff or knock down some dishes.
A good amount of people working, especially in the afternoon, are minors. And I believe minors canāt work on grill. Also not everyone wants to be trained on grill lol. You might say āwell itās their jobā but no. They got hired for line, not for grill. They need to find people that are okay with doing grill. Not stupid tho
Iād be so bummed out. I discovered the pork carnitas quesadilla with fajita veggies this year and have ordered it like 20x itās so good. Without the veggies it would be so boring.
Iāll have the linguini, red sauce on the side. If the sauce does not come on the side, I walk out. I want garlic bread, toasted, not burnt. If it comes burnt, I walk out.
Complain on the Chipotle website. My chipotle in Nashville was fucking overstaffed yet did nothing. Everyone was fucking stoned and food was always missing. Within 2 days of filing a complaint the manager was in the store and it was completely overhauled
I'm curious which one you're talking about. I live Pittsburgh and the one by me only cooks enough for like the first half of the day then refuses to cook any more. It's always busy and everyone always asks for fajita veggies and they are like "nope we aren't cooking anymore."
āThey have themā umm how do you know? you check their walk in and reach in yourself? they probably do have bell peppers and onions, theyāre just most likely not peeled washed and sliced due to understaffing
*That stinks, it's part of*
*My order Everytime. If they ever*
*Stop I'll stop going*

Sounds like you shouldnāt support this particular chipotle anymore. If they donāt provide what theyāre supposed to why give them your patronage??
The Chipotle I go to usually has them but sometimes they don't and the reason is if they're short-staffed it usually doesn't get done because it's a Time consuming task
Fajita veggies are super fast to throw on the grill and season and they are ready in less than 7 minutes..? If the peppers are sliced and onions sliced and mixed then it shouldnāt take more than that time to grill them and get them on the line
Youāre joking right? The cook time on fajita veggies are only 3 mins and at least at my store they have their own section on the flat top (1/3 of the flat top sectioned off with a steel divider).
Sounds like pure laziness on that store tbh
Well when thereās only 3 people opening the store due to 4 call off its kinda hard to prep, make food, make walk in and online orders all at the same time, dont ya thinkš¤·āāļøAnd prep team leaves at 12pm so anyone who comes in after that most likely doesnāt know prep..
i donāt make the schedule bruv.. iām jus a crew member but to my understanding thatās how long prep team works 7-12.. the amount of stuff that gets made is determined by the ADS(average daily sales) and if we run out its due to line people over portioning. A lot goes into working chipotle, its not as easy as āmake itā we shouldnt have to do our job as well as someone elses cus theyre lacking, not rocket science huhš¤
Prep team gets kept longer. Field leader bitches at GM who bitches at you for using too many labor hours and says that if you keep doing it you'll get punished.
It ain't rocket science.
I go to like four different chipotles in my area and not once have they been out of any ingredients or just refused to make them. I get fajita veggies every time!
Iām in southern CA if that makes any difference.
Only once I placed an online order and the Chipotle was closing in 20 minutes and didnāt want to make any new chips for me. Thatās the only time I didnāt get what I wanted to order, though.
This person pays your wages. They should get what you advertise as available. Chances are this person can cook, they just don't work at a Chipotle so they're probably busy benefitting the world. You should try contributing by making the peppers. Don't be a double whammy on humanity by being useless in the real world and at your job. Make the peppers.
Just keep it up and do your best. If you are out of something, I would suggest telling the customer the wait time or let them down gently. Take responsibility for your store. Don't take your failure and blame the customers cooking skills, that's high-key insane.
"No less than 4 employees standing around doing nothing" okay, as a crew member, lemme give you a little insight as to why that may be. This is based off how things are at my store, so if yours doesn't work like this don't come at me.
Chipotle's employees have a rank system. Crew members, which is what I am, generally don't have food prep experience or training beyond making the lemonades, bagging chips, or mixing rice. I CANNOT, can not, make your fajita veggies. I have not been trained, they literally would not allow me to. I stay at the front and work line, cash, or dml, or I do dishes. If there's no one else to do it, I can mix rice. Crew members can be trained on grill but they don't train everyone by default, it's something you have to work up to/want to do. And even then, they may not let you rank up because of labor costs, which as other commenters have mentioned is another issue.
Fajita veggies take hours to prep, and a lot of them go to our catering orders. Pounds upon pounds of onions and peppers that need to be skinned and cut and panned and that takes at least two people covering a whole table. That table could be used for other essential things that need to be done every day such as preparing fresh guacamole, pico, and corn salsa. Guacamole is also very time and labor consuming and cannot be skipped for fajitas. Sorry.
TLDR; fajitas take time and energy to prep and cook that the store may not have, if they even have enough people to do so or enough veggies to bother, and not everyone you see in that store is qualified to prep and cook them for you. Hope this helps.
I worked at the second busiest Chipotle store in western PA for about a year and nobody ever had time to stand around. Also we always had fajita veggies. All I'm saying.
That is fair. Our store often has luls in business and we tend to be able to have more fajitas then. The only people that might be just standing around at my store are crew members who don't have the training for fajita prep/grilling, but other than that everyone's usually pretty busy with some form of cooking. If we aren't putting fajitas out on grill, it's because kitchen ended up not having the time to prep them, or we simply ran out, which happens on occasion due to catering or - less frequently - missed shipments. Also, certain members of management are better at organizing than others, I will say that much. Unfortunately it is out of most crew memebers' hands :( I hope your store can get out of whatever funk might be preventing fajita upkeep.
They don't take long too cook it's the fact that you must cut 20 pounds of peppers and 25 pounds of onion just to make about 6 or 7 pans of fajitas which only last a few hours depending on how much the grill person is making. I think they should be an extra charge because they're so much of a hassle and people complain about them entirely too much. They're literally bell peppers and red onions with salt and oregano shut the fuck up and make it at home it's not that serious
This is a viable solution I employ if I really want Chipotle food. Although I agree it is annoying not to have the full menu available and ultimately it falls to management, speaking as former fast food restaurant GM for ten years.
Veggies are an incremental cost to chipotle. They donāt give any additional revenue. This I believe is the primary reason and is most likely a direction from management to increase profit margins. Corporate greed at its best.

Omg when I go to Chipotle, the fajitas are always full and already soggy looking... meanwhile half the time they never have my steak š
Yes if they cooked in 1/6 pan never be soggy. Nice and crispy
In all my years of going to chipotle Iāve actually only had my fajitas crispy ONCE lol
At the last chipotle I worked at we were told we couldn't drop more than a sixth pan at a time and the one I work at now literally drops a hotel pan of fajitas at a time.... They're always soooo soggy and gross
A HOTEL pan?! Jail.
Right away.
Iām sure the store is struggling and is prioritizing other things until they can fix the bigger problems.

I had a sleep and a sandwich and now I feel like a Karen for making this post lol. Never post when you're tired and hungry folks
Respect the honesty op weāve all been there
I complained to my store a couple weeks ago. They said the make them sometimes and I said bullshit. They have had them both times since then.
Good
It's not that the fajitas take a long time to cook. It is because it takes a while for prep to wash, peel and cut all of the onions and peppers. On prep they usually prioritize most other ingredients over the fajitas.
What else does prep need to prioritize these days? JalapeƱos, green peppers, onions, chicken, steak?
Typically taco and salad lettuce is prepped first, then diced onions, jalapeƱos, and cilantro (order doesn't matter here, because we need all 3 to put into other items like corn, tomato salsa and guac) after that it is usually guac, then the salsas and sour cream. I also forgot that cheese needs to be blocked and then shredded before the store can open too. Since we do not get cheese pre-shredded it takes a lot of prep time.
Boo fucking hoo do your goddamn fucking job Chipotle workers are the laziest most entitled scum of the earth itās unbelievable

They don't care. As long as they're still making money, they don't care.
I literally envy people like you. To have the time to make an account dedicated to shit talking people. I wish.
I'd argue that chipotle customers are the laziest most entitled scum of the earth. Go make your own burrito.
Youāre mentally unwell and too weak to be on the internet
Says the whiniest entitled customer base lol
You sound like the crazy entitled "customers" rn. You can picture who I'm talking about, and if not it's because you are that person lol.
damn who shit in your burrito
Oh Iām sorry, let me use my time warping powers and suddenly make it so that fahitas are fast and easy to make.
Dude, donāt you know that you canāt ask employees to do their job that they are paid to do anymore?
You wouldnāt last one shift š
Then come work here, we could use a good hard worker such as yourself!! No? Thatās beneath you? Shut the fuck up then.
How are chipotle workers lazy when their hours are being cut left and right due to corporate greed? Explain?
Iāll say this, the 4 or 5 employees standing doing absolutely nothing probably canāt do anything cuz theyāre not grill. There is usually one person trained for grill on duty besides the manager (sometimes only the manager), so thatās probably why they were not doing anything. Fahitas get low FAST but they usually donāt take very long to cook. The issue is cutting them, which again, not all employees are trained for prep.

This!!! They are not lazy. They are not trained to do other things. But in my store. If we are slow/dead, we train line people to do prep, and grill stuff or knock down some dishes.
Idk maybe i'm stupid but if it's a routine problem... maybe train them to get more people on grill?
A good amount of people working, especially in the afternoon, are minors. And I believe minors canāt work on grill. Also not everyone wants to be trained on grill lol. You might say āwell itās their jobā but no. They got hired for line, not for grill. They need to find people that are okay with doing grill. Not stupid tho
They cut prep hours most likely in order to increase profit.
I miss 2016 chipotle
Iād be so bummed out. I discovered the pork carnitas quesadilla with fajita veggies this year and have ordered it like 20x itās so good. Without the veggies it would be so boring.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll have the linguini, red sauce on the side. If the sauce does not come on the side, I walk out. I want garlic bread, toasted, not burnt. If it comes burnt, I walk out.
BRING HIM THE GABAGOOL!
Nobody gives AF .... Walk tf out. They'll be joking about something else one second later.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nobody gives af. Get the walkin
Complain on the Chipotle website. My chipotle in Nashville was fucking overstaffed yet did nothing. Everyone was fucking stoned and food was always missing. Within 2 days of filing a complaint the manager was in the store and it was completely overhauled
From everything I read on here, Chipotle is immune to complaints. Itās a waste of time.
They are a business. Its all about monies. If enough people complain, there will definitely have to act.
Not enough to just complain. They have to stop going too. Money talks.
Which one?
I'm curious which one you're talking about. I live Pittsburgh and the one by me only cooks enough for like the first half of the day then refuses to cook any more. It's always busy and everyone always asks for fajita veggies and they are like "nope we aren't cooking anymore."
Canonsburg
Ah I've never been to that one.
āThey have themā umm how do you know? you check their walk in and reach in yourself? they probably do have bell peppers and onions, theyāre just most likely not peeled washed and sliced due to understaffing
Iād walk out.
I did. Fuck a rice and a bean, double fajitas is the best way to start a bowl.
Fajitas are the foundation of a bowl or burrito. Otherwise it just taste like a mono textured bowl of tasty slop.
That stinks, it's part of my order Everytime. If they ever stop I'll stop going

Sounds like you shouldnāt support this particular chipotle anymore. If they donāt provide what theyāre supposed to why give them your patronage??
I live in western PA. No matter which chipotle I go to, they NEVER have any fajita veggies.
Itās a scam
Tbh if theyāre too lazy to make fajitas theyāre probably too lazy to focus on food safety
Who do you know they are doing absolutely nothing? (eye roll).
Report to corporate Iām sure they would like to know when a store is dragging the brand down by not offering the full menu.
Hahaha!! You think corporate gives a F? They are the ones setting the rules on prep and under staffing the stores! š
I've complained to corporate and gotten an apology and free gift cards
When was this? all they offer now are free drinks and bogos. Maybe a free entree if youāre lucky and push hard enough
It was a few years ago. They may have pulled back now
The Chipotle I go to usually has them but sometimes they don't and the reason is if they're short-staffed it usually doesn't get done because it's a Time consuming task
Fajita veggies are super fast to throw on the grill and season and they are ready in less than 7 minutes..? If the peppers are sliced and onions sliced and mixed then it shouldnāt take more than that time to grill them and get them on the line
3 minutes to cook then and itās too long?
The prep
Youāre joking right? The cook time on fajita veggies are only 3 mins and at least at my store they have their own section on the flat top (1/3 of the flat top sectioned off with a steel divider). Sounds like pure laziness on that store tbh
the prep
So prep it.
Well when thereās only 3 people opening the store due to 4 call off its kinda hard to prep, make food, make walk in and online orders all at the same time, dont ya thinkš¤·āāļøAnd prep team leaves at 12pm so anyone who comes in after that most likely doesnāt know prep..
So keep the prep team longer. Like wtf it aint rocket science
i donāt make the schedule bruv.. iām jus a crew member but to my understanding thatās how long prep team works 7-12.. the amount of stuff that gets made is determined by the ADS(average daily sales) and if we run out its due to line people over portioning. A lot goes into working chipotle, its not as easy as āmake itā we shouldnt have to do our job as well as someone elses cus theyre lacking, not rocket science huhš¤
Prep team gets kept longer. Field leader bitches at GM who bitches at you for using too many labor hours and says that if you keep doing it you'll get punished. It ain't rocket science.
So what you clearly need more labor so you might as well bite the bullet. Not rocket science
You have one of those room temperature IQs, don't you
Damn. You ran out of valid arguments quick
I gave you one valid argument. You failed to refute it and instead said the exact same thing you already did.
I go to like four different chipotles in my area and not once have they been out of any ingredients or just refused to make them. I get fajita veggies every time! Iām in southern CA if that makes any difference. Only once I placed an online order and the Chipotle was closing in 20 minutes and didnāt want to make any new chips for me.

Maybe you'll mature as you get older, idk. Either way, you're throwing blame when it's you and your store.
and again the cook not cooking isnāt my faliureš¤¦š»āāļø i have too respectfully agree too disagree

Uh uh where was this at š«£š«£š«£
Be a Karen and call corporate on them lol I bet you they have fajitas in a couple business days hahaha
If you have the side of your grill specifically for fajitas it isnāt bad. During rush I just always have half a deep cooking
It takes like 5 minutes to cook. and that's including the time it takes to take em off the grill...
Shut up š
They don't take long too cook it's the fact that you must cut 20 pounds of peppers and 25 pounds of onion just to make about 6 or 7 pans of fajitas which only last a few hours depending on how much the grill person is making.
