First, you'll have a phone call, and then you go in for an interview. Getting the job offer usually happens within a few days. The background check isn't too intrusive. You might have to wait a week or two, depending on how quickly you learn, before you get to keep the tips you earn.

WH mainly wants reliable people who can work with anyone, as long as they show up and have a good attitude. They just need people to show up. So if you haven't killed anyone or raped a child, WH is your friend. They hire people with felonies and those just released from prison.

I've always been interested in the food service industry, so when I saw a job posting for a server position at Waffle House, I knew I had to apply. I filled out an application online and soon received a call from a hiring manager at the restaurant. The hiring manager did a pre-screening phone interview with me, asking me questions about my previous work experience, availability, and why I wanted to work at Waffle House. I answered the questions confidently and was excited to hear that I had been selected for an in-person interview.
