Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted promptly, and a first interview was scheduled with an area manager. I got a neutral feeling-- couldn't really tell if the guy liked me or not. About 3 weeks passed, and then got a call from another area manager for a second interview. The second interview went well, and I received the job offer at the end. Good interview-- just a very long process. I am glad I still had my old job in the meantime.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
Talked briefly to the area manager. He was kind of arrogant and already knew everything to know about restaurants. I talked about ease of operation and he thought I meant I was looking for an easy job. I tried to explain that I meant you don't want labor intensive food items for people that you are paying eight dollars an hour. His eyes had already glazed over before I finished. It is amazing to watch how fast upper level management forgets what it is like to be in the day to day operations. All three of the local Chili's we go to have really dropped in quality of service and food quality, and I am sure their sales are suffering as well...

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Dallas, TX (took 1 week)
Interviewed first with recruiter on the phone, then she called me in and interviewed me in the office. She then had an area director contacted me and we met at a local chilis. He spoke more about chilis then we did about myself. My advice is to look on the website and read the description of the job positions they are looking to fill. There are key words (hospitality, culture) that will score you bonus points. Do research on the company's global growth and recent business changes.
