I applied online. I interviewed at Whitbread (Eastleigh, England) in June 2015
Interview
the hiring and interview process was quick easy and generic. they ask the normal kinds of questions you would in any interview in regards to waiting - no problem solving questions or anything like that. I was questioned on my CV, experience and why I want the job. Only daunting thing was how intimate the interview was as it was one on one.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Whitbread (Chippenham, South West England, England) in June 2011
Interview
Very informal, I attended a trial shift and was hired. I was told that the restaurant was hiring staff for the summer so applied. I feel that if you know someone that works there then you can probably get a job there.
