I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applebee's (Fuquay-Varina, NC) in Apr 2013
Interview
Sat down with the GM and was asked a multitude of what if questions, if I had served before, if I had an alcohol training, ect. Then if all goes well, like it did for me, I was given a date for orientation where you get a tour of the facility and start training videos. Training period takes about a week, and on the last day you serve on your own and being watched the interior time to make sure you are a right fit for the restaurant in the end.

Question 1
How would you deal with having to multitask on a busy night?
“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.
The interview process was quick and easy. They had me come in the morning and ask very basic questions about my previous experience in the industry and some behavior questions
