I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Old Chicago (Overland Park, KS) in May 2012
Interview
I applied online to Gordon Biersch, however Old Chicago called me instead, which turned out to be a sister company of Old Chicago. I got lucky because I only had one interview and was then later that offered a job and attended orientation that night. From working there I have noticed this is not how it usually is. Usually they interview one to two times with different managers before they offer a position.

Question 1
How do you tell guests that there order is messed up, do you be honest or blame the kitchen?
It was laid back and casual. Did not feel very stressful or formal. One interview with assistant manager then one with general manager. Overall good experience as far as interviews go
I interviewed at Old Chicago (Lincoln, NE) in Oct 2022
Interview
They will want to know if you can multitask in a high paced environment, what beer knowledge you have, and if you have any previous restaurant experience. They will also ask questions about you as a worker.
Had one in-person interview with a manager... mostly talked about herself and how short-staffed the location was and how quick turnaround was. Bad vibes, but I was hired on the spot. Super easy to get hired.
