Interviewed May 2012 in Winter Garden, FL (took a day)
I'd applied to this company online 3 previous times with no response. I decided to visit the one nearest to me. I walked in and explained to a new manager that I'd applied online previously with no response. She got a senior manager who gave me a paper job application to fill out right there and then. three different and very personable waitresses stopped by the table I was sitting at to tell me how much they enjoyed working there and which shifts I should take according to company needs or to "get noticed." One waitress told me not to work in the kitchen, but on the floor as a server because she easily made 50 dollars an hour as a server. I finished the application and met with the general manager. He said a couple of different shifts were available and had 2 or 3 more interviews to conduct that same afternoon and someone would get back to me either way. That was yesterday, May 14th, 2012. I'm still waiting and hoping.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
I applied online and I was called within a day or two and asked to be interviewed. The interview was only about 15-20 minutes long. She asked basic "How would you handle..." questions. I was offered the job on the spot and scheduled a day and time for orientation.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Greensboro, NC (took a day)
You sit down with an assistant manager. They ask very typical questions. (Describe a time you went above and beyond to give good customer service. Describe a time you had a difficult customer, how did you deal with it? ) If it is your first job, they will allow you give other examples, like maybe something you did in school or in a church or civic group.

Interviewed May 2011 in Ashland, VA (took a day)
I went in and knew the name of one of the managers (through a family member). I had no previous experience in the restaurant industry, but they hired me on the spot. Present yourself well and you will be fine, especially if you apply before the summer and are available on the weekends.
