I applied in-person. I interviewed at IHOP in Dec 2014
Interview
You filled out paper work about your background, what times you can work, etc. One of the managers sits down with you and asks you questions such as your intent for work, any previous experience, and what have you. It was a pretty laid back interview, but dressing up nice is always necessary (if only to stand out and make a good impression).
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Do you have any previous experience working in the food industry?
