I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at P.F. Chang's (Huntington Station, NY)
Interview
Applied online. Received call the next day to set up an interview. Went in and met with one of the managers. The "interview" lasted all of about 5 minutes, he didn't really ask me anything except why I wanted to work there. They offered me a job that day and told me to come in for orientation about a week or so later. This was before the new location was open. Now that we are open, they have people come in Monday-Friday 2-5 to fill out applications and do a quick interview.

Done with one of two on-site managers. Mainly asked questions that hinted if I could be a part of a high-traffic or busy work environment.
