I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at P.F. Chang's in Feb 2012
Interview
I walked in and filled out a application on the spot ( recommended). Make sure you know all your information and bring a resume if you have one. I first spoke with the GM. She was just about to give a interview so asked me to come back and sit down with the assistant manager, so i did. I came back later that afternoon and spoke with her and the bar manager. That's who I had the "interview" with. He was so friendly. The interview was very enjoyable. It was pretty much friendly conversation with some questions thrown in. The management was fantastic and very nice. My advice: Dress to impress, know you wine and liquor, basic knowledge of the menu, have a couple questions to ask, be confident, and smile. Try not to be nervous. The less nervous you are the more smoothly the interview will. Honestly, It didn't even feel like a interview. Also, a big note ** only go in to fill out a app mon-thursday 2-4pm. This is the slow time and when they will really be able to speak to you.
The interview is very easy with many simple questions like availability and experience. It only took around 5-10 minutes to finish. They'll let you know if they can hire you immediately after the interview.

Do you have experience in a fast paced environment?
The interview went well overall. The process was very organized, and everyone I interacted with was polite and welcoming. It was conducted in person at the restaurant, which gave me a good sense of the environment and team dynamics. I appreciated the opportunity to see the space and speak with the staff directly—it helped provide a clearer picture of the role and expectations.
