I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Recruiter sounded dry and bothered in participating in the interview. He asked the basic questions: why CB, name someone you've mentored and what was the outcome, greatest strength, how would manage lavot costs, etc.
There would be long pauses in between, he apologized for writing things down. Overall, he seemed as if he were distracted and unprepared.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Tewksbury, MA) in Oct 2025
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me via Indeed and we set up a time for a phone interview. This was a short interview mostly reviewing my job history. Next was a call from a district manager to discuss the job a little more in detail. Then a face to face interview was setup at the restaurant.

Interview
Interview process very nice after you apply you do a video interview and take some assessments if they like you they reach out pretty quickly always on time for appointments told you what the next step was and they do not leave you hanging
It was just a basic conversation where I talked about my skills and they said what they needed. It was really laid back, but I still had all my questions answered.
