The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Taco Bell (Cocoa, FL) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online and got a call a few days later. Came in for the interview in my business suit and was obviously over-dressed. (Girl had interview after me wearing jeans and a camo jacket.)
The interview was with the assistant manager. She asked a few basic questions about my sales and cash handling experience. Then she pulled out some Taco Bell cards and asked me to pick three from which she asked me predetermined questions.
She asked me to come back the next day for an interview with the manager. He also pulled the card trick which worked out for me because I just pulled the same cards and consequently got asked the same questions.
I went for this job because I couldn't get anything else. I got hired as a cashier but what they don't tell you is that you have to clean the lobby (sweep and mop floors, wipe off tables, and stock up items), fix customer problems, and .... clean the bathroom.
The managers are nice, but otherwise incompetent.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Taco Bell (Brighton, MA) in Mar 2026
Interview
I was scheduled do have an interview with the regional manager Israel, however when I arrived, he wasn’t there. Instead, I was interviewed by the manager of that location (unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name but she was really nice and cool). She told me about the work and about how that specific location was a fairly easy job. I was asked about my schedule, which I confirmed was open and flexible, and if I would be going on vacation this summer, which I would not be. I was told that Israel would contact me later that day to set up a proper in person interview sometime later. Over a week later I receive an email telling me that they would be hiring someone who “more closely fit their needs.” At no point in the original interview or application process was I asked about my experience, if I had I would have told them that I had over 5 years experience in retail and 2 years experience cleaning kitchens. I tried reaching out to see why I had been rejected when it seemed pretty obvious that the person in charge of hiring wasn’t doing their job properly, and unsurprisingly, I never heard back from Taco Bell.
they called me and i went in. they asked basic questions about customer service, if i used a POS register before, and if i had previous experience in the food industry
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Taco Bell (Michigan Center, MI)
Interview
I met with the manager for a quick conversation about my availability, past experience, and why I liked the company. The discussion was straightforward and friendly, and the whole interview felt efficient, low‑pressure, and surprisingly comfortable overall.
