I applied in-person. I interviewed at Red Lobster (Newark, NJ) in Nov 2024
Interview
Asked how long I have been a server and asked me about myself and why I enjoy working in the hospitality industry. Then did a walk through of the whole restaurant and introduced me to some of the other servers.
Normal questions, manager was fine, lacked empathy, but seemed pleasant enough. Booth was pretty worn that I sat in. Questions seemed standard, however the interview felt rushed as if they had another person already that they had in mind.

Question 1
Give an example when you gave great customer service
The interview was very quick, and I was hired on the spot. I was interviewed by the floor manager and the general manager on the same day. It was laid back.
