I walked in as is and it only took one day. If you look presentable and you talk properly, they will like you. You don't ask for a particular position, but if you don't have much experience but you are pretty (a girl) they will make you a hostess. if you are less attractive or just have a lot of server experience, they will make you a server

Question 1
They asked what made me want to work at Cracker Barrel
Quick conversation about my experience - I had none. Ended abruptly when the manager needed to return to the kitchen. I got a call roughly two weeks later. I would not work there again.
Super easy and quick basic behavioral questions and customer service questions. So easy for a high school student to start out and work multiple jobs for a great company that has managers that care for you and your success
