I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Applebee's in Jan 2023
Interview
Easy-going and friendly. It was straightforward with no problems. I really enjoyed everything about it and felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. The staff was attentive, and the service exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a hassle-free and enjoyable time. Truly a delightful experience.
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.
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 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.”
