Felt the person actually hiring me knew their business. However the environment of the interview was poor. Having other managers present in theory maight be a good idea, but their lack of interest in the process was a waste of time

I also learned history of the restaurants. The interview was pretty relaxed as far as I didn't feel pressure or intimidation. I was able to be myself.
