The in-person interview lasted about 30 minutes. They asked about your available hours and general availability, what position you're interested in, and if you'd be open to other roles. They also asked about your AM or PM shift preference.

I was offered the job and told I would start training the following week, I was also told I would be contacted regarding my schedule. After giving it a couple days and not hearing back, I texted the manager and did not receive a response. I then called the restaurant to ask for the manager, I was told she wasn’t in but she would call me when she arrived. She didn’t. It was Saturday by this point, so I called again and was very flippantly told the schedule was still being worked on and I would be contacted. They never called me back. If a mistake was made by the interviewer and I wasn’t right for the position, I would really have appreciated being told so to my face instead of being ghosted in such an unprofessional manner.

I applied before the restaurant opened, so they held interviews at a job fair. When I got there, other people were taking a menu quiz we got beforehand. A manager called us when they were ready. I was interviewed by the district manager, though I didn't know who she was then. It was pretty chill. She asked me some easy questions about myself and my past jobs, and also about who I think is key in a restaurant. Then she gave me a job description sheet with the pay and some other papers, and said she'd see me on the first day of training!
