I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IHOP (Colorado Springs, CO) in Dec 2012
Interview
I was called into the location to conduct an interview with the assistant manager at the time. I was asked about scheduling, and why I felt I would be a good choice for the job. After a pleasant discussion the interview was complete. Originally I was overlooked, but due to the applicant's failure to uphold standards I then was offered the job.
