The interview process involved a review of questions and training materials, with a test specifically required for the second interview. This is a well-run establishment, originally from Georgia and now operating in Texas. Their food is excellent, and their commitment to customer service is evident.

It's pretty straightforward. You send in your application online, and then they'll call you to come in. Once you're here, you'll chat with a couple of managers, and if everything looks good, they'll offer you the job. After that, you'll come in for an orientation, and your first day will be spent immediately on training.

Be mindful not to schedule your interview during their busy lunch hours. I was given a packet to fill out, and noticed what seemed like interview questions with a manager's scoring section. I thought it was for them to use, but it turned out to be for me to complete. There's a company policy requiring interviews with three managers for hiring, and only two were available for me. They mentioned they'd reschedule for the third manager to interview me.
