The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applebee's in Jan 2008
Interview
Dropped off application (no resume) at one store. Manager called me in for an interview the next day. It was a one on one interview with the server manager, followed up with a brief interview by the general manager. After the oral part of the interview, the managers presented an IQ/Personality Test. The test included about 80 random lykert-scale questions about what you woud do in specific scenerios.

Question 1
Name a time when you just couldn't "catch up" and what did you do to resolve it?
“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
