I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Arlington, TX) in Aug 2014
Interview
I was required to apply on-line (they don't accept in person applications). If they like your work history they will give you an initial interview over the phone (They prefer to hire someone with at least a year of serving or a related sales experience.) Then if you pass that interview you will be requested to have a personal interview with the front of house manager then a second interview with the general manager.If you pass all of that then your in and go on to classroom training for five days and three days of shadowing on the floor.
