I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Statesboro, GA) in Jul 2021
Interview
I walked in and one of the ladies working got me an availability sheet to fill out. I waited for the hiring manager, but they were busy so she just went over my availability with me. Then when a manager came out she explained dress code, basic work duties and how on-boarding would be handled. I was sent my background check authorization email and once that comes back I'll start.
Standard line cook interview. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Same interview type I have had for all other line cook jobs. They emphasized the need for cooks that can handle the heat of the kitchen.
