Had a few interviews with the management team. They started with some general questions then got into more specific stuff about liquor, beer, and wine knowledge, and how to handle tricky hospitality situations. They also asked about having your own transportation and if your availability is pretty open.

Behavioral Technical
Started with an online prescreening personality test, then uploaded my resume. Took about a week to get an email inviting me to interview. There were 4 interviews in total. You proceed to the next interview as soon as the person above you approves you, so it happens over several days unless you're lucky and the next manager is available right after your current interview.
