I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
Very straight forward, if you can pour coffee they'll hire you. Just make sure you come to the interview looking showered and in clean clothing. Try not to have too many body piercings that day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly about my previous background in the food service industry. Working for competitors.
In person with the manager at the location. Basic questions around past experience and understanding of role. Some situational and behavioral questions asked. Having worked for Starbucks before was an easy experience despite it having been a long time ago

Question 1
Tell me about a Time you delivered excellent service
Just a simple interview where you talk about your experience and get a free coffee as well. Your best bet is to be really friendly and bubbly and excited with completely open availability
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
