I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Wayne, NJ) in Oct 2014
Interview
You are asked a few scenario questions to test what course of action you would take with unhappy customers etc, you are also expected to have at least a year of serving experience. Prepare for these type of questions ahead of time so they see that you don't hesitate, because they want people who are fast and accurate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a customer seems angry or unhappy?
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Fresno, CA)
Interview
Short and immediately hired. I will say they hire based mainly on recommendations from other employees. But the interview was good and I was explained everything that would be needed from me (licenses, food cards, etc) and they love open availability on the weekends.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interviewer was nice, and the interview was fairly straightforward. Not too many questions were asked. The environment was nice, and the workers seemed happy to be there. Really great experience.
informal chat, getting to know you, one round. I would say that it is more about knowing your personality but of course you are also tested practically too. For instance, can you work under pressure, can you work well with other people - the stuff that shows your personality more so than grades.
