I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Red Robin (North Olmsted, OH) in Mar 2015
Interview
For the first interview I came in, and waited at a table in an empty section for the manager. Depending on what you apply for you meet with a certain manager. As a FOH position I met with the service manager. Then for my second interview I met with the general manager, in the same context.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work here? What makes you think you'd be a good fit for this position? Do you see yourself working here for a longer period of time? Do you have any schedule restrictions? Reliable means of transportation? Have you worked in customer service?
The interview was a straightforward and easy process. They asked about my availability, transportation, and prior work experience. The interview went by quickly and felt more like a conversation. It seems like they check to see if you fit in well with the team.

Question 1
How comfortable I am working with people in a fast paced environment.
Super easy going, was able to talk to them like a friend and barely asked hard questions. More like a conversation than an interview. Interviewer had a lot of calls during it but he wasn’t expecting me
My interview was a bit unique. I was interviewed three times, and the final one was by their manager, Christian. He was over an hour late, which I waited for. I never heard anything again from them after, which I found extremely rude after all that time I waited. It's clear they don't value their employee's time.
