I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Austin, TX) in May 2014
Interview
Good. Asked about past experience and why I wanted to work for the company. The manager interviewing was very nice and welcoming. They offered me something to drink. Talked about what to expect with the position and if I was okay with it.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Bridgewater, NJ)
Interview
Nice and easy, the process was simple and smooth, they asked about previous experience, and that's really it. If you are looking to work somewhere with higher checks, go here.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty straightforward, they ask about your experience and how you would deal with certain customers. They ask about problem solving skills and customer service scenarios. They ask what you want from the job and where you see yourself in 5 years.
Simple interview process. Go in person and answer some basic questions with floor manager and they'll let you know if you got the job or not pretty much right there. Pretty sure everyone will get in.
