I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Grill Concepts (Burbank, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I had three separate interviews with 2 managers and then the GM. Very thorough. They each took their time with me, not only interviewing me, but also telling me a lot about the restaurant.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Grill Concepts (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
First, group interview. Then if you pass through that interview you will interview with the bar manager, then the GM. It is a very smooth process and management is very friendly. It is a laid back place and management makes you feel very comfortable, but be sure to stay very professional while also showing your personality. The are looking for people who are positive, up beat, but also people who have great work ethic and can keep cool in high stress situations.
