I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Itsuki (Santa Barbara, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Meet inside the restaurant before it's opening to discuss availability. The interviewer was nice and described everything you had to do, cleaning, serving, enthusiasm, etc. There are a lot of random rules that you need to sign.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you able to work more than 6 months and during holidays?
