Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Red Robin.
Server
I talked to two different managers for this role, and they both mentioned how competitive it is. They mainly asked about my serving experience and if I can upsell guests. Other than that, I'd say it's easy if you have experience.
- Regarding your experience, do you have X years?
- Tell me about your serving experience.
- Can you upsell guests?
Waitress
The interview experience was terrible. I think it was mainly due to the specific person who interviewed me, so I can't really judge Red Robin as a whole. She was really dismissive and rude, didn't seem interested at all, and was just a mean person.
- What's your availability like for work?
Server
It was super easy, I just walked in when it wasn't busy and asked for an interview. They set me up for one the next day. They asked me some simple questions about whether I could multitask and handle pressure and how I talk to people. I got hired right after the interview.
- Can you handle multitasking and pressure simultaneously?
- How do you interact with others?
