I was referred to this Assistant Restaurant Manager position by a former colleague. The interview was about 30 minutes and focused on my industry experience and questions about managing people and personalities, not much on back-office work.

It was a very relaxed interview, and they asked good questions. It felt open and not secretive, which made me feel more at ease. I'd recommend it.

Behavioral

The interview was easy and relaxed, informal because it happened during opening hours. I was sat aside in a quiet part of the restaurant. They provided a lot of information and a tour of the restaurant so I could understand what I was getting into. They also introduced me to the shift leaders who would be doing my training with. This was helpful to put a face to the name of the people I'd be spending my first few shifts with.
