I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at A&W Restaurants in Jun 2012
Interview
Pretty basic interview. Went in to give my application, met with the manager and got a call the next day. They were hiring during that time. All the questions were pretty simple. It was my first job, so i didn't have much to say. But they needed some front staff so I was hired. The training took about a week to get a hang of and went well. I loved working there, very good if you're in high school and need a job. The pay was minimum way, but as a student, it was good to have some income. Only negative was sometimes it would get very busy and the kitchen wouldn't be as fast as you'd want it to be. Unexpected rushes would also make for a stressful environment. But worked there for 3 years and made some really good friends. It's a hit or miss with franchises, and thankfully I worked with a good, helpful team.
It was a very straightforward process focused mainly on availability and prior retail or fast food experience. I was presented with a few situations regarding dissatisfied guests and was asked how I would go about handling them.
