I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IHOP (Las Cruces, NM) in Oct 2014
Interview
I asked for an application after dining in the restaurant and noticing that the FOH was understaffed. I returned to the restaurant the next day and asked if the manager had time for an interview. He gave me a 15-minute interview and I was hired on the spot.

What to do you?

The boss seemed to be in a rush and was a mess in appearance. I didn't feel too comfortable but I had to take the job. It took about 10 minutes and got a free drink.

Interview
Very easy got an interview upon handing in my application. Thankfully I dressed nice and had reviewed some potential interview questions. The manager sat me in the restaurant in a booth and held the interview right there among the patrons. To me it mostly felt like the interview was a formality. Afterwards he gave me a tour of the restaurant.
