I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
very simple and asked basic questions. you can search up basic interview questions and it’ll literally just be that. just be prepared and you’ll do fine. come confident but humble at the same time!
The interview process was easy and definitely worth it. I actually had two interviews, one with a regular manager and then one with the GM. Asked about gap in resume.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Glendale, WI) in Mar 2026
Interview
You initially interview with an assistant manager or something. It is a rather easy interview but then they say they will get back to you about setting up a second interview and they never do. Felt like the were giving me the run-around. Not professional.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Orland Park, IL)
Interview
Very easy interview process. I sat down with one of the shift managers and we went over job duties, my experience and availability. They mostly ask about reliability and availability.
