Behavioral Case

You'll need to talk about how you'd hire people, staff up, handle people stuff, organize things, manage labor and food costs, focus on customers, and your past customer service experience. They usually interview like 5-10 people for each job. Make sure to make eye contact and smile - it's important. This isn't an office job, it's pretty casual, but we still expect managers to act professionally.

Behavioral Technical

I was first contacted by the Regional recruiter over the phone and they asked me some standard questions. Then, the District Manager set up a 1 on 1 interview for me at a store location. This interview lasted about 2 hours and covered my personal and management experience, among other things. It was a very professional meeting and the DM seemed genuinely knowledgeable. After that, I received a second call from the recruiter with a few follow-up questions, and then I was offered the job with all my requested terms. It's a great company to work for!

Behavioral Technical

The District Manager will chat with you about your past experience. They want to know if you're willing to pick up shifts when someone calls out. Experience with inventory and food costs is a plus. You don't necessarily need formal management experience, as long as you're willing and have some prior lead experience.

  • Have you passed previous corporate audits in your last job?
