Very relaxed. I only saw the GM, so it wasn't before a panel of people. I came in business casual clothes. I answered questions about my past experience but I think they were more interested in my personality. You have to have a relatively outgoing personality for this job. They want to know that you can cook and talk to people at the same time. They want to know you are available and capable of physical activity (although many of the people I worked with were elderly...you get help when you need it from the younger employees).
