I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IHOP (Philadelphia, PA) in June 2019
Interview
A short sit down interview asking basic behavioral questions. The interview was with the manager of the location and lasted around 20 minutes or less. Only one question was related to the company so they can see that you researched the company beforehand.

Question 1
There are many other restaurants you can work for, why IHOP?
Easy interview, assuming this wouldn’t be your first job interview. Overall, if you are prepared to answer question regarding situations and how you’d handle them, you’ll be fine. Be yourself and show your personality.

Question 1
How would I handle a situation with an angry or unsatisfied customer
Literally just started signing papers, no interview. Managers name was Dante. He was a cool guy. I knew Dante was going places. He is a funny dude and great manager but he’s prob not working there anymore
This was a very basic and easy interview. All you need to do is to look presentable and make sure to utilize the STAR method. If you do this, you should be good to go.
