I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lettuce Entertain You (Northbrook, IL) in Mar 2013
Interview
Walk in they will basically just see if you are a sane person and will hire you on the spot after you apply. Very easy anyone can pass this they are pretty much just looking for people who can work a lot so be ready for a lot of hours which can be a good thing
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Lettuce Entertain You (Scottsdale, AZ) in Sept 2011
Interview
I called the restaurant and spoke with a manager, requesting an interview. I went in a few days later and sat down with the assistant manager and owner of the restaurant. They asked me a number of questions, then asked me if I had any questions. I pretty much got hired on the spot, they gave me some paperwork to fill out, and a formal application.
