I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IHOP (Forestville, MD)
Interview
I was in High School looking for a part-time job and walked-in on a day I was out of school for a Dr. appointment to ask for an application. The owner/manager on duty gave me the third degree about why I was not in school that day [showing that he cared about education], so I told him why. Next, he hands me an application, asked if I had a work permit, had one interview, then I was hired as a Bus Boy at miniume wage. I worked in that position for a while, then was promoted to Dish washer. Worked as a dish washer for a while, got really friendly with fellow workers/ line cooks who would verbally train me on what they were doing in the kitchen during some slow nights. Next thing I know, I was offered a Line Cook position. One of the managers watching my worked performance immediately says: "You must have been sneaking in the kitchen, because you are catching on way too fast and those omlets look too perfect [doing a great job].
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IHOP (Allen, TX) in Mar 2024
Interview
Quick, they didn't ask me much they were very quick about it. Hired me in gave me a little over 20 hours that week . They didn't really train me either.
Basic interview process. How reliable are you. What are your preferred days and hours. When you can start. Previous experience. It wasn't very hard to come up with a basic answer to the questions.

Question 1
Conflict resolution example and how you resolved it.
There was no privacy, she gave the weakest handshake, looked me up and down, and asked me questions right at the host podium. It was crass and she later said she couldn’t change my training date as she couldn’t put it on the schedule because she didn’t know what other applicants would apply.
