It was easy, just be confident and know your food and drinks. Make sure you know about common allergies. Be ready to hustle and be a team player. Show that you pay attention to the details in food and drink recipes.

Behavioral

The interviewer seemed to feel threatened by my confidence. They asked if I'd be starting as a to-go specialist, and I said yes, but added that with my work ethic, I doubted I'd be behind the counter for long since I've always moved up quickly and give everything my all. The interviewer's response was, 'There's a fine line between confidence and cockiness,' which really put me off the job. Honestly, I was glad not to hear back, even though the manager said he'd let me know in 3 days. The staff seemed cool and it's a place I like to eat at, but I'll never go to the El Segundo location.

The interview process was open. About 50 people showed up on the 3rd day of interviews. I got there 15 minutes early, dressed sharp. They greeted me and gave me an application to fill out. I then waited about 15 minutes to be interviewed. With my resume in hand, I answered questions given by a very rude woman/manager. I almost left mid-interview because she was so abrasive, realizing that I wouldn't ever want to work for this food chain.
