I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gemma Restaurant (New York, NY) in Apr 2014
Interview
Hiring only by recommendation, servers with NYC experience. Interview was very casual and smooth. They give you a booklet about menu and serving process and couple of days later, they call you and schedule the testing (written), very long and detailed. They don't ever review that and hire you on first impression basis.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gemma Restaurant
Interview
One interview (I had a personal reference), began work the next day. The hiring manager was straight-forward and to-the-point so as long as I demonstrated confidently that I could do the job it was not a huge problem to get hired.
