I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Caffe Aldo Lamberti (Cherry Hill, NJ) in Apr 2024
Interview
Caffe Aldo Lamberti received my personally emailed application for a server position and called me the next day offering me a bartender position. Once I arrived to the restaurant I waited around for 20 minutes for the hiring manager, who then gave me a huge packet testing me on the restaurant’s menu. I’m pretty knowledgeable about food and did the best I could and turned it in. I then waited another 20 minutes before the hiring manager met me again. We then continued with a full interview. Once our interview was complete, he offered me a position busing tables. As an experienced hospitality professional I was incredibly offended by the absolute waste of my time and insult to my skill.

Interview
The interview process was very simple and straightforward. I met with a screening manager for a few minutes and then the GM immediately after. They'll give you a written test to gauge your level of food and wine knowledge.
