Interview
Once you're contacted, after submitting an application online, you have a few days to call and schedule to interview in person with the management staff. In my case I was interviewed by one manager and then hired on the spot, in my experience working there, having multiple managers present in the interview was more common. Stopping in or calling to follow up would not help you in this position, if they want you they'll call.

Interview
There are two rounds, the first was light conversation about responsibilities and questions about certain situations. Really nice and courteous staff, they also had lots of snacks and refreshments at the interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Capital Grille (Columbus, OH) in May 2024
Interview
It was a mass interview, kind of like a machine, so don't get overwhelmed if it feels like you are walking into something grand. Dress to impress. After working at the job for a while, my employers said that dressing in a suit really added to their perception of me before even speaking to me. I was first met at a check-in, then taken back to a table with the lead of the team I was applying for: the host lead. Once the host lead determined she liked me, she sent over the managing partner. At this location, I applied for the opening of the restaurant, so I was offered the job on the spot. I am unsure if the managers offer a job on the spot in a typical interview.
