I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applebee's (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
I arrived early and was seated immediately. My first manager was very friendly. He started out talking about himself, his life history, and what brought him to Applebee's. He asked easy questions about my experience, and then moved on to interview second person. I had the GM give me a second interview. He asked more intermediate questions like what kind of customer service experience I had, and why Applebee's. Offered the job on the spot
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Applebee's
Interview
In person interview. They asked many personality fit questions. Seemed like they care more about if you fit their vibe rather than your experience or aptitude as a server. Quite liked my interviewer honestly.
“The interview process typically starts with an application review, followed by an interview with the manager to assess customer service skills, availability, and experience. Depending on the role, there may be situational or behavioural questions to understand how candidates handle teamwork, fast-paced environments, and customer interactions. Successful candidates may then proceed to onboarding and training.”
Did an interview with assistant manager, lasted five minutes and they wanted to do another interview with the head manager.
Only asked me two questions which was weird, I never had an interview like that before.
Pretty pointless imo and I don't think they respect your time well - from reading other reviews it seems quite unconviential though so maybe it was just a weird store.
