I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Applebee's (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
Quick, good for practice or starter job for server with no experience. The interview went fairly quick, asked about past experience and availability. They seemed big on availability, especially during the weekend.
The interview was welcoming and professional. The manager asked clear questions about customer service, teamwork, and availability. I felt comfortable sharing my experience, and the overall atmosphere was friendly and respectful.
Normal interview questions. If you have an open availability you will get hired! Don't be nervous. Just smile alot ND be friendly. My interview only lasted 15 min and was hired on the spot

Question 1
What is your availability, can you work weekends and holidays
Short and simple. Manager was nice enough. A pleasant and average interview for a waiter job. I decided to go somewhere else for better pay but would have taken the job otherwise.
