Interview
I applied online in June and received an email within a few days requesting a phone interview. During the phone interview, she asked some generic questions and told me about the job and it's expectations. From there, I was asked to complete a personality assessment.
Once that was completed, I was given a webcam phone conference with a woman. The first 15 minutes were scenario type questions (if you were in such and such situation, what would you do) and the last 15 minutes were set aside for you to ask questions. Afterwards, she told me I would hear back from someone if I passed to move onto the panel interview.
About an hour later, my recruiter contacted me to tell me I had been pushed through to the next phase. This took about a month and it was with two people in a webcam conference call. It was set up much the same as the first as far as the questions went and I was told that I would be flown down to Miami for my final interview two weeks later, with my flight and hotel paid for.
In Miami, there were about ten of us all interviewing at the same time but we were one of four blocks of candidates flown down. Every person was from another state so no one was actually there at the same time for the same area. They gave us a tour of the building and then each of us went into an interview at staggered times. My interview was with one woman I interviewed with during my panel and someone from the management company in charge of Burger King.
I was told to just be myself and that they just wanted to get to know me a little better. Same format as before with the questions and it didn't last more than 20 minutes. After my background check was completed, I received an offer over the phone about a week and a half later.

Question 1
Nothing too difficult but I was told at several points through the process to make sure I researched the company. This helped me a lot because they asked me questions that I might not had been able to answer correctly if I hadn't done my research.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Burger King (Miami, FL) in Feb 2015
Interview
7 interviews, very lengthy process, each interview consisting of the exact same questions. A little mundane after round 3 of the same thing over and over again. I understand the principle behind it however, looking for the best that is out there. However, one would think this could be accomplished rather quickly with this particular roll.

Question 1
Why BK?
What are your main challenges in your current role.

Interview
The interview process was very typical at first. Contacted by a recruiter and had a very typical interview (situational questions such as tell me about a time you had to change direction quickly, explain a typical day in your current role, what is your proudest achievement to date, why Burger King, why leaving current employer, etc.). Moved on to an interview with HR (more of the same questions). These were both phone interviews.
The third virtual interview is where it got weird, and I realized the manager who interviewed me, the recruiter, and HR were not on the same page. I had great interviews with the recruiter and HR which were very positive, but the manager and I had the complete opposite experience. I realized from the moment I started speaking that I was counted out. While I have extensive management experience, it is in retail, and I do not have a restaurant background. He made his point very clear that he wanted someone with restaurant management experience from the start. He continually reiterated the point that I have not worked in a restaurant and therefore, I would require more training. He asked me maybe three questions which I answered well (similar answers I used with HR which was a great interview!) and only half paid attention to my answers appearing totally disinterested from the start. I left the interview feeling very disrespected since he didn't really pay attention to me and like my time had been wasted since I clearly was not going to be able to meet the criteria he was looking for based on my work experience. I am not sure why HR put me through to another interview if this is the case or even why I was contacted in the first place. Still think it would be a good job and a good place to work, but if you don't have restaurant experience, they may count you out before you even interview.

Question 1
None of the questions were very challenging. Overall typical interview questions. Be prepared to speak to why Burger King, why you are leaving your current job, and what you feel you can bring to the table.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Burger King (Miami, FL) in Jul 2013
Interview
The interview consisted of 3 rounds. Each round was behavioral based. The first round was a online questionnaire and an interview with an HR rep (third party HR firm) to determine fit. The second interview was with the BK HR rep dedicated to hiring for that specific position. The third round was at the corporate hq and a panel formate.
