<p>(Reuters) – Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:) said on Wednesday it is looking to hire 19,000 additional employees to beef up workforce at its restaurants for its busiest time of the year.</p>
<p>The restaurant chain operator’s hiring plans for this year’s “burrito season”, which runs from March to May, is a step-up from 2023, when it announced plans to hire 15,000 new workers for the period.</p>
<p>This season traditionally sees a spike in demand at Chipotle, as warmer weather and more daylight prompt Americans to spend time outdoors and visit the company’s outlets frequently.</p>
<p>Chipotle has historically seen its highest volume of sales in the spring season, a spokesperson said, adding that the 19,000 open roles include both full- and part-time restaurant positions.</p>
<p>The announcement comes at a time when dozens of companies across sectors ranging from tech and banking to retail have been laying off workers in a bid to manage costs amid higher interest rates.</p>
<p>Chipotle, where Gen-Z workers make up more than 73% of its restaurant staff base, also said it was offering new financial benefits for employees, including a program to help them pay off student debt while also saving for retirement. </p>
