From my experience, the barista interview process is pretty straightforward. They mostly focus on your customer service skills, how you handle stressful situations, and your ability to work as part of a team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Xing Fu Tang (Duluth, GA) in Jul 2024
Interview
The manager will send you the messages to get your interview after few days. On that interview day, he/she will give you the form to fill out. During that, he/she will ask your previous work experiences
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your availability? They need employees who have to work at least one day on the weekend
Easy-going with simple questions. Didn't have to dress up formally. Ended pretty quickly and I didn't need to have previous experience in making bubble tea. Started relatively quickly after I was successful in the interview.
