I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Edison, NJ) in June 2017
Interview
I was looking for a summer gig. Once the manager found out I wouldn’t be long term he essentially shut down the interview and I didn’t get the job. At another location closer to school, I hinted that it would be possible to continue even when I went back to class and I got the job offer for the exact same role.

Question 1
Will you be able to balance this job once you go back to school in the fall.
The interview process was easy and definitely worth it. I actually had two interviews, one with a regular manager and then one with the GM. Asked about gap in resume.
Good and brief. The interview lasted a couple of minutes it went well but there was no response to whether I got a job or not. The manager was very nice

I applied in-person. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Glendale, WI) in Mar 2026
Interview
You initially interview with an assistant manager or something. It is a rather easy interview but then they say they will get back to you about setting up a second interview and they never do. Felt like the were giving me the run-around. Not professional.
