Interviewed Mar 2011 in Goodyear, AZ (took a day)
The interiew was schedule after I called many times and brough a resume to the store. First interview is with the front of the house manager, second with general manager. What they are both looking for is a great personality and excellent customer service skills are crucial. Now, applications have to be submitted online ONLY and a resume can be uploaded. After that, call the store and ask to speak with the general manager.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
There were a total of 2 interviews. The first was with the District Manager in the restaurant. The second interview consisted of a shift follow inside their training store and then an interview with the Director of Operations. The culture was warm and inviting. Everyone in the company was nice and accomodating in answering any questions or concerns I had.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
I met with a manager between the lunch and happy hour/dinner rush around 2:30-3 P.M. and he was more than willing to give me plenty of his time. I was instructed to fill out an APP first and then we spoke for about 30 minutes. I was asked about personality traits and overall demeanor as well as expectations. He said I had the "perfect look" for what they were looking for but they had no current openings. As far as the interview itself it was very easy, but I never did hear back from them.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Springfield, IL (took 2 days)
I met with the manager, and he told me about the job; salary, training process. He then asked me to describe myself and asked me if I had any questions for him. He told me that if he were to continue the hiring process, I would be called back for another interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 months)
Applied and was contacted after about 2 weeks. I was asked when a good time for a phone interview would be and gave her a date and time. That day came and went and so I emailed her to try again. Set it up and guess what... that day came and went also with no phone call. It turns out she was on vacation. I emailed her once again and finally did the phone screen. No apologies for either mishap. She sent me a skills and personality test to complete online. The next week I was contacted by her to let me know I would be getting a phone call for my next step. I received a call from a restaurant GM asking me for a day to meet with him at his unit (55 miles from my home) for an interview. At the interview, this GM explained he was asked to do this for his boss but did not know why. He further explained that he had never done this before and apologized for his inexperience. After this interview, which did not go well, I walked away asking myself, "What Just happened?" The next day, I received a form email thanking me for my time but I was not going to be considered for the positiion. I sent an email to their home office asking if this was typical of their process. I received a phone call from an HR rep and was asked to explain my experience. Later that day, I received a phone call from the recruiter and got more of an excuse than an apology, and was told the district manager would be contacting me. When he did call me, I received an apology and we set up a time to meet. Because of the amount of time that had already passed, the position I had applied for was already filled but he would see what he could do. He said he would call me within one week to let me know about a decision. He never did so 3 days after the deadline HE set, I called him. To no surprise, he told me that I would not be joining the company. This whole fiasco took just over 3 months to complete! After all of this, I wonder if this is normal or just a cluster of bad circumstances.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Woodland Hills, CA (took 6 days)
I applied online and was called in for an interview about 3 days later. I went in two days later and met with the kitchen manager. He mostly just clarified my experience, and then asked if I had any questions for him. I didn't get a second interview.
