I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IHOP (Tacoma, WA)
Interview
Very easy got an interview upon handing in my application. Thankfully I dressed nice and had reviewed some potential interview questions. The manager sat me in the restaurant in a booth and held the interview right there among the patrons. To me it mostly felt like the interview was a formality. Afterwards he gave me a tour of the restaurant.
