Need advice from other Chipotle employees about closing expectations

Wait 5 sec.

Need advice from other Chipotle employees about closing expectations I work at Chipotle and my shift is usually 7 PM–12 AM. I’ve only been working here for **5 days**, and my manager recently told me that I need to improve my performance and come in with the mindset of being finished by 12–12:20 at the latest because hours are based on performance. The problem is that when I come in at 7, I’m usually the main/only person doing dishes, and I inherit a bunch of dirty dishes from the earlier shift. On top of that, I have to scrape/clean out the rice, get the queso out, wash everything that gets dirty during my shift, and sometimes I get pulled away to do other prep like steak. I also have to take my 30-minute break. I’ve been trying to come in around 6:50 so I can get ahead on the dishes, and I usually take my break later and try to get everything done as quickly as possible. 2 days I still end up clocking out around 1 AM, especially if we were busy the whole night. My question is: **Is finishing by 12–12:20 a reasonable expectation for someone who has only been working here for 5 days and has all of these responsibilities, or am I just being too slow?** How do other Chipotle closers handle this? Do you normally inherit a lot of dishes from the previous shift, and what time do you usually clock out? I’m genuinely trying to improve and learn the closing routine, but I feel like there’s only so much one person can physically do in a 5-hour shift.   submitted by   /u/Disastrous-Form-6348 [link]   [comments]
