Interview
there's questions to answer prior to interviewing, then a few rounds with hr and managers as well as a working interview where you work in the store for an hour or so
Brief and straightforward. Asked about availibility and experience and my knowledge of food. Pretty average interview process. They asked all the basic questions and the entire thing lasted about 20-30 minutes. They usually interview at the location you are trying to work at as they own a few separate restaurants.

Interview
Before being offered an interview, I was asked to respond to 5-7 questions via email to assess my qualifications.
Three rounds of interviews: [1] Interview w/ current Manager & HR Manager, [2] Practical interview (paid), [3] Interview w/ owners. Email communication between rounds.
Pros:
- Transparent & informative: I learned a lot about the business, vision & strategy, and company culture!
- Casual & friendly: I dressed casually and felt comfortable joking and laughing with the team!
- Hands-on practical interview: The team got a chance to interact with me, and I got a chance to interact with the team and the work, which helped to inform my decision.
Cons:
- Time Integrity: For my first interview, the HR Manager arrived late to the interview. For the third interview, one of the two owners arrived late. [*Both only by a few minutes.]
- Disorganized: During the meeting to discuss the job offer, we reviewed the job description, not an official offer letter. The job description should have been formally reviewed earlier in the process.
