I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Popeyes (Saint Catharines, ON) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied to Popeyes a few days before getting the call for the interview. Interview went well. The interviewer was really nice and knew how nervous I was with this interview and tried to make me feel more comfortable. They made me interview for a different job than what I was applying to which was strange to me. First page of the questions(she had 3 pages of questions) was more about me and my past work experience. Second page was mainly situational questions. Third page only had one question. Will find out next week whether or not I get an offer.

It was great, very specific with what was required. Offered consistant hours and advance pay if I met my daily requirements. The team seemed really helpful and positive. I am excited to start!
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Popeyes (Ottawa, ON) in Jun 2025
Interview
Sat down with the manager in a corner seat inside the Popeyes location, I was just asked simple questions like what I am currently studying, what my availability is. I was then hired at the end of the interview.
the interview process was straightforward and professional. I was asked basic questions about my previous kitchen experience, availability, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. The manager explained the job expectations clearly and assessed my willingness to learn. The whole interview lasted about 15–20 minutes, and I heard back within a few days.
