they ask about availability as it's important to be available on weekends and holidays, and summer for school out. they are lenient about experience, i went in with none. ask about strengths and weaknesses, if i remember correctly. it honestly varies with the person interviewing you.
Very easy, the same day they asked me when I could start. More layed back interview style. Met the whole team on interview to see if I was a company fit.

Give me about example of a difficult situation and how you handled it.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at California Pizza Kitchen (Geneva, IL) in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview process went rather quickly in my case, but it's because they were gearing up for the spring/summer season, so they were bringing on more folks at that time. I filled out my application and was scheduled for an interview the next day. I was interviewed by an floor manager and than the general manager. The floor manager did the lion's share of the interview process. The general manager did more clarification, testing the inter personnel as opposed to procedural skills. They were both friendlier than a lot of other restaurants I've applied to.
