NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,

Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced it is increasing
restaurant wages in Canada
resulting in a $15 CAD minimum hourly
rate in Ontario restaurants and
$16 CAD minimum hourly rate in

addition to best-in-class benefits and a competitive hourly rate,
Chipotle's crew members can advance to a Restaurateur, the highest
General Manager position, in as little as three and a half years,
with an average compensation of more than $100,000 CAD while leading a multi-million-dollar
growing business.
The wage increases for new and existing crew members and hourly
managers in Canada officially go
into effect today.
In an added effort to boost its recruiting efforts in the
region, Chipotle recently introduced a $200 CAD referral bonus for employees who refer a
crew member and a $750 CAD referral
bonus for employees who refer an Apprentice or General Manager in
Canada.
"We are 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 Anat
Davidzon, Managing Director – Canada at Chipotle. "Chipotle is looking for
people who are authentic, passionate and want to help cultivate a
better world through real food and real personal development."
