I had 3 interviews. First, I talked to a recruiter. Then, I had 3 interviews with the management team. It was pretty easy to follow along but the questions were very difficult for a simple restaurant. They went into too much detail, it felt like I was applying to buy the business.

The interview process was long and drawn out, and felt unnecessary. The location wasn't great and the service was bad. It's a shame for those who want to make a difference.

Behavioral Other

Had a sit-down chat with the General Manager for the first interview, then the Regional Manager for the second. Both interviews were pretty similar. It was a relaxed conversation where the Manager asked things like 'What do you think this job entails?' and 'What past experiences have you had in similar areas?'. We talked a bit about previous jobs, experiences, and any extra training I might have. The Regional Manager did bring up expected salary; I think I could have asked for more, but I felt a bit awkward about it. Got contacted back really fast after that.
