I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applebee's (West Mifflin, PA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Met with manager. She was kind and experienced. I went at a bad time because they just hired a bunch of servers. But she was informative and clear. I didn’t get an offer but a phone call would be a possibility by the end of the week.

Question 1
How many tables am I comfortable having in my section at one time.
“The interview process typically starts with an application review, followed by an interview with the manager to assess customer service skills, availability, and experience. Depending on the role, there may be situational or behavioural questions to understand how candidates handle teamwork, fast-paced environments, and customer interactions. Successful candidates may then proceed to onboarding and training.”
Did an interview with assistant manager, lasted five minutes and they wanted to do another interview with the head manager.
Only asked me two questions which was weird, I never had an interview like that before.
Pretty pointless imo and I don't think they respect your time well - from reading other reviews it seems quite unconviential though so maybe it was just a weird store.
The interview process was quick and easy. They had me come in the morning and ask very basic questions about my previous experience in the industry and some behavior questions
