The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Subway in Nov 2010
Interview
I filled out an online application, and a couple days later the manager called asking if I was still searching for a job. I said yes, and he scheduled an interview for the next day. I arrived ten minutes early, and the manager was ten minutes late. He didn't have an office, so we stood behind an open closet door. He asked me when I was available, why I thought I was the best for that job, and how long should it take to make a sandwhich. Then he took me behind the counter, and I had to demonstrate how fast I could do it. I had to cut the bread, lay down the cheese, meat, and lettuce in under a minute. The manager wanted me to come in for more training the next day, and mumbled something about calling me. Since he didn't state a time, I arrived at the same time that I had come yesterday. Two other women joined me. The manager walked in and said I wasn't supposed to be there, I "misinterpreted" what he previously said and he would call me later. Thoroughly mortified, I left and he never called.
Very simple and straightforward. Normal questions like availability, have you worked in food service before, etc. I think it depends on location though since friends at other locations have had more substantive or less substantive interviews.
Straightforward and professional with typical fast food interview questions. Friendly and easy to talk to interviewers. Reasonable length and in person made it more comfortable. Great experience and easy interview.
Was pretty average hospitality interview process, focus on customer service in a fast paced environment, how to deal with stress, team work/ collaboration, company values, and your past experience. and availability etc.
