The interview process was long. They dragged it out much longer than needed which was not ideal. First interview was behavioral questions and the second round was more technical. I also had a few phone call conversations with people that work in the job which was actually quite beneficial.

Interview

Simple and straightforward process. Spoke with the General Manager and then the crew leader in charge of the server staff. The questions were basic questions dealing with customer service and conflict resolution. For example, recall and describe a tough situation with an angry or upset customer and what you said and did to rectify the situation?
