I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Taco Casa (Waxahachie, TX) in May 2017
Interview
No background check or reference check. Very basic interview offered by the assistant manager. They will hire anyone if they like what they hear. I walked in and turned in the one page application and got an interview and hired the same day. I know it is fast food but some level of vetting the applicants would reduce the 50% turnover I witnessed.
