Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Roadhouse (Denver, CO) in Mar 2012
Interview
Very casual interview, sat down at a table with service manager for 10-15 minutes. Was asked to come in for an interview after turning in an application. Manager called me after a few hours and offered me the job.
Easy and straightforward. Talk about your experience and why you want to work there. Hired me on spot and organized my orientation days. Worked with my schedule and accept seasonal work.
