I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vinaka Cafe (Carlsbad, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
It was an informal process, outside the actual cafe with one of the managers. The interviewer was very nice and friendly. She asked me open ended questions and was more interested in listening to my answers than she was in asking a set list of questions. Most of her questions were follow-up questions.
