I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Steak ‘n Shake in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied for hostess on Snagajob, and got a call for an interview about a week later. The interview was only 10 minutes long. The guy that interviewed me just asked me if I'm good at multitasking and my availability, then he scheduled me for another interview the next day. I was hired on the spot at my second interview.
It was an easy and smooth process. They mainly want to know how you work under pressure, your availability/schedule and being a team player. Be sure to be on time and have questions ready at the end.
