First you fill out a paper application online and submit it in the store. They might call you, but it's a good idea to call them back if you don't hear from them in a few days. Then you have to memorize the menu and take a quiz. Based on how you do on the quiz, they'll let you know if you passed. If you pass, they'll talk to you about your availability and why you want this job. After that, they'll go over the details like pay and uniform.

Behavioral

I almost didn't apply because I didn't really want to work in food, but a friend at another store said she could get me in fast, so I interviewed the next day and got hired right away. I took the job because I was desperate and low on cash, but I wish I had quit sooner. Things went downhill after about two months. I quit after six months. I was promised things that never materialized.

The owner or general manager will interview you in the lobby after lunch. They'll ask about your work history and any experience you have in the food industry. Your availability is important, as are your interpersonal skills. Be ready to talk about your strengths and weaknesses, and share an example of when you dealt with an unreasonable person and how you handled the situation.
