I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Applebee's (Minneapolis, MN) in July 2015
Interview
Apply online and go to the restaurant for the interview. Easy interview. Helps to get the job if you have serving experience and appear very friendly. Talk to your interviewer, who is a manager at the restaurant, as well as answer the questions he/she asks you.
Process was quick and I heard back only 1 hour later.
Being flexible with your hours will also help.

Question 1
Can you handle working and going to school at the same time?
“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
