I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen (Morgantown, WV) in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied online and got a call for an interview about a week later. The first guy I interviewed with was very calm and relaxed and just asked basic questions about me and my experience. He then told me to come back the following week to have an interview with another manager. I came back, ended up waiting for about an hour till he finally met with me, had the wrong application, then asked if I would be interested in being a host, which I declined since the hosts don't make the money to support living ($4 plus 3% tip servers make). I declined because I didn't apply as a host and online it said that they needed servers.

Interview
I waited in by the host table and was called to get interviewed very quickly. I sat with a guy that didn't believe me when I was telling him my references.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen (Little Rock, AR) in Feb 2025
Interview
Asks you generic interview questions and ask you when your available to work and if you will be available for orientation. They also want to know how much prior restaurant experience you have and go over your resume. Former restaurant experience isn't needed because they said they train from the ground down.
