I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Taco Bell in Jun 2015
Interview
I applied online and the recruiter contacted me the next day to schedule a phone interview. A week later, I had the phone interview with the same recruiter and it lasted an hour. It went well and she asked a lot of question about my previous restaurant experience.
I then was scheduled with the local Area mgr at a local Taco Bell. I got call that the Area Mgr wanted me to meet with the DM during the same interview, but I was not able to make it so I have 2 separate interviews. First with the Area Mgr, he was late 15mins; then DM and Area Mgr together, they were late 15-30mins. I was just sitting in a Taco Bell and waited...and waited......Both interviews was easy and they asked me very standard questions. Based on my previous experience and my salary history, I believed it was over their starting rate, they said they would try to match my requirement. Both interviews were very easy for me and they agreed that I could be an Area Mgr within a year.
I suggested to go to a local store to do a on job review, I went to the store and talk with the GM there and found out my salary expectation was 10k more what they start people out. I waited for an hour but the Area Mgr was not able to make it on time.
2 days later, I contacted the Area Mgr and let him know I would not move forward with them because I believed they would not be able to match my rate. And....I strongly believe that the upper leaderships do not have self-disciplined, nor the people who are under them. I do not want to work for people who do not care about being on time.

Question 1
Why did you leave the previous restaurant?
How did I get paid previously?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Taco Bell (New Delhi)
Interview
3 interview rounds. They themselves have no idea about the date and time they have scheduled the interviews. Bad internal communication. Points that make come as a shocker.
- HR would give time and date for video calls but the assign person would call few days after on a odd time.
- Assign person suppose to video call would call will give a regular voice call and don't even listen half of the time. ( Working himself, I suppose in a crowded environment)
- operations manager would no even look at you while taking the interview. Kills the positive vibes.
- Miss out major communications internally and try to slid it on you.
- offer you a low salary and position to check if you agree while being blunt.
- don't look at special qualities are focused on experience and just experience in terms of years and not knowledge.
They all were really polite and I have no personal grudges but this behaviour show how you treat your internal customers lower to your level. Please fix top level management atlest in operations before expending outlets.

Question 1
I was reminded again and again in the interview process that I've taken a month gap like it's a taboo and some how the gap is bigger than my half a decade of experience. ( which for me is a necessary break that all should take in their life)
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Taco Bell in May 2017
Interview
Very simple. First started with a telephone interview with a recruiter. She asked basic question on work history and what motivates you as a person. If everything goes well she will set you up with an Area Coach for a face to face. This face to face is very similar to the phone interview maybe a little more in depth on why you would want to work for Taco Bell.
Next I had a small panel interview with the Area Coach, his boss, and two other RGMs. Very easy. Finally I did a job preview where I spent four hours in a store going over operations and shadowing an RGM.

What made you chose Taco Bell over some of its competitors?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Taco Bell
Interview
Promoted from within. What are your goals, why do you want to work there, how would you handle an upset customer. Generic questions for a fast food chain. Show customer's are always first
