Interviewed Apr 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took 2 weeks)
You fill out the application on a specific day. They will tell you when to come back and at that time you can take a personality/cognitive skill, that is basically composed of figuring out work-schedules and that sort of thing.

Negotiation Details
It was at the second interview. The first interview is with the specific department manager, the second is with the restaurant manager, at that one they tell you how much you want and such.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
First, when you turn in an application, go between the hours of 2pm-4pm on Monday-Thursday. This is when the lunch hour is over and before the dinner begins. Be very friendly to everyone you come into contact with. And smile!
That same night I received a phone to come in for an interview the next day. The manager was very nice and made me feel comfortable, not nervous. We sat at a table in the back of the restaurant. I was asked about 10 questions. These question were about costumer service, previous employment job description, and general question about yourself.
After this they will send you on your way and call back if they're interested in hiring you.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Oxnard, CA (took a day)
I got to the interview 10 minutes early to make sure I'd be on time, the host led me to a table and gave me the tip "smile a lot". I waited at the table for the interviewing manager for about 10/15 min which was kind of annoying.
The woman interviewing me was exceptionally nice, making me feel at ease and making it easier to forget about the long wait. Her questions weren't typical "tell me about yourself, or what are strengths/weaknesses". She went on to give me several senarios on what goes on in the restaurant and I had to answer on how I would react and what I would do.
A fairly simple process, relaxed and very professional. But beware, if it is busy the interview will take a long time, because if you pass the first part she will want to give you a personality test, which is 170 quesitons, all easy but you feel it is kind of a waste.
Just remember to smile :)
