I applied online. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Kansas City, MO) in Jan 2017
Interview
Did a quick online application but it included a very long questionnaire. I had an individual interview but it included another manager halfway through. They had pretty creative questions and you had to be quick on your feet to answer them, but they were both friendly and interested.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did you ever have to deal with an unhappy group of customers? How?
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Fresno, CA)
Interview
Short and immediately hired. I will say they hire based mainly on recommendations from other employees. But the interview was good and I was explained everything that would be needed from me (licenses, food cards, etc) and they love open availability on the weekends.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Los Angeles, CA) in July 2025
Interview
The interviewer was nice, and the interview was fairly straightforward. Not too many questions were asked. The environment was nice, and the workers seemed happy to be there. Really great experience.
informal chat, getting to know you, one round. I would say that it is more about knowing your personality but of course you are also tested practically too. For instance, can you work under pressure, can you work well with other people - the stuff that shows your personality more so than grades.
