I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Red Robin (West Hartford, CT) in May 2012
Interview
Their process is quick. After you apply they take 2 to 3 days to call (sometimes up to 5), you will get call for one interview with the General Manager then in 1 or 2 days you get a second interview with the X Manager( X= Kitchen, FOH, Bartender, depends where you apply). It can be also in vise-versa, first with X Manager then with the General Manager. After the interviews the orientation will be in 1 or 2 days and then you will start to work the coming Monday or Tuesday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty much is all the same for the questions if you compare with others restaurants. You know, why you will like to work here, why do we have to pick you over other applicants, etc.
I “interviewed” with the GM on a Friday. It wasn’t really an interview but more so a screening. They just went over my experience, availability, hours, etc and I got invited back a few days later to meet with the kitchen manager. This was even less of an interview and it literally lasted like 60 seconds and he told he would call me later that day. I didn’t hear from them so i called the day after and followed up and he told me the manager was in at 3:30 and they would go over all the applicants and call me by 4:30. Once again, I heard nothing. It’s incredibly rude and inconsiderate to lie to someone’s face TWICE and say you’re going to call them and never do. Even if you choose another candidate, it’s at least courteous to let people know you’re not going to hire them instead of lying and having them be ready to pick up the phone for two days straight. I was overqualified for this job with open availability and they didn’t even ask real interview questions so it’s genuinely a mystery to why they decided to ghost me. Very unprofessional and rude.

I applied online. I interviewed at Red Robin (Clinton Township, MI) in Sep 2024
Interview
It was quick and pointless. I didn’t get a job, despite the fact that I’m experienced. I had pretty open availability, but they didn’t care. Probably 17 per hour is a lot for them.
