It was pretty straightforward, with questions similar to previous interviews I've had at spoons. They asked a lot about how I'd handle managing a shift, how to locate information, and what my aspirations are within the company. You need to be familiar with the two pager, know the optimal location to run a shift from, and have ideas about what you'd introduce to the pub.
