I applied online. I interviewed at Old Chicago (Wichita, KS) in Aug 2015
Interview
The interview I had was very quick and very simple. I came in and the host led me to the back where it was quiet and I waited for one of the managers to come and talk to me. They were very friendly and made sure I wasn't intimidated. They asked me a few questions, and before I knew it the interview was done. I was called and was invited to a second interview with the General Manager. Same process, and he ended up hiring me. I worked here for almost 2 years and enjoyed who I worked with, but it IS the restaurant business.
