I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applebee's in Jun 2019
Interview
Before I went in for the interview, I researched on Glassdoor for possible questions so I would be prepared. Because I did this, nothing caught me off guard and I was able to have a well put together answer for everything. It was very relaxed (he literally sat me down at a table in the middle of the restaurant and the other servers were making conversation with me while I waited). There were supposed to be two parts, but if you do well enough with the first one, that should be enough. Probably took about 20 minutes or so, they're looking more at your appearance and personality than anything else, so just form coherent answers with a smile on your face and you should be fine.

Question 1
How do you plan to manage a Biology major and waitressing?
“The interview process typically starts with an application review, followed by an interview with the manager to assess customer service skills, availability, and experience. Depending on the role, there may be situational or behavioural questions to understand how candidates handle teamwork, fast-paced environments, and customer interactions. Successful candidates may then proceed to onboarding and training.”
Did an interview with assistant manager, lasted five minutes and they wanted to do another interview with the head manager.
Only asked me two questions which was weird, I never had an interview like that before.
Pretty pointless imo and I don't think they respect your time well - from reading other reviews it seems quite unconviential though so maybe it was just a weird store.
The interview process was quick and easy. They had me come in the morning and ask very basic questions about my previous experience in the industry and some behavior questions
