I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Maggiano's (Boston, MA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Asked the hostess for an application and asked to talk to the banquet's manager. I was able to speak with him and was asked to fill out the application and return the following day for an interview with him and the general manager of Maggiano's. I filled out the application and handed it in. I came in the next day at the time we had settled on which was mid-day, when all the managers are in. I first filled out a skills and intelligence test which involved simple math problems and questions regarding food handling and customer service. It was graded right after I completed it and was sent to the main office of Brinker. After receiving the approval through phone that I passed I was able to interview that same day with the Banquet's manager and then the General manager. Each interview lasted about 10-15 minutes. They told me they would contact me in the next few days. They did exactly that and I took their job offer.
