I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Benihana (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2013
Interview
Was contacted regarding my resume posted on a careers website. I was in the middle of moving cross-country and the corporate recruiter asked me to contact her once I was settled in my new town, which I did. She returned a voicemail three days later, apologizing for the delay and asked if she could contact me the following day, as "something had come up." I contacted her again after two more business days of no contact from her, and she yet again said that she was occupied with an office matter and would like to reschedule our conversation for the following day. Have received no further communications from her.

very fast within a week I was able to interview and get through the process from the introduction to the regional manager and meeting the General Manager to also doing a day in the life
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Benihana (Coral Gables, FL) in Jan 2020
Interview
It was very thorough and lots of critical thinking. I had met with the regional director and he mentioned that Benihana is all about bringing onboard potentials who show results rather than tenure. Be ready to be asked about what skills would make you an effective leader, Benihana’s history, what are some things you would change if you were hired, Benihana’s strengths, weaknesses, any concerns, your past experiences, and etc.
