I applied online. I interviewed at Five Guys (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
The hiring process involved both a brief interview (~10 min) with the store manager focused on my attitudes towards custumer service and cleanliness and a "trial shift" of around 3 hours. By the end of the trial you earn a meal and go for a quick chat with the manager again to assess your performance. Overall the whole process was quite quick and friendly.
Trial shift for 2 hours. Shown around various parts of resturant. Shown how to clean the resturant and how to make the food, focusing on preparing and dressing the burgers.
Interviewer asked me basic questions about myself. She then talked about her experience working in the industry. The interview lasted about 15 minutes and was easy. Basically a get to know you type of interview.
A telephone call- asking if you handle pressure well and an example. Then asks the previous skills you bring from ur previous job, and what makes you stand out. Then an inperson interview with one question about customer service, and a 30 minute ‘day in the life’ where u cut some peppers and jalapenos
