The interview process at Gyu-Kaku typically starts with an online application or in-person submission. Candidates are then invited for an initial phone screening to assess availability and motivation. Successful candidates proceed to in-person interviews, often involving the restaurant manager. These interviews focus on customer service skills, teamwork, and understanding of Japanese cuisine. Applicants might participate in situational role-playing to demonstrate problem-solving abilities. Cultural fit and a passion for hospitality are key. Depending on the role, there might be additional rounds for skill assessments. The process concludes with reference checks and a job offer for successful candidates.

Gyu-Kaku started out as a great opportunity. I interviewed in Atlanta only once with Sandy. The interview went well and within a week I was offered a position as manager. It was strange because I had only been on one interview and within a week I had received my offer letter. Gyu-Kaku is opening a new restaurant in the Atlanta area, and currently there is no other store nearby. So part of the deal was that I had to get my affairs in order with one week’s notice and complete my 2-month training in Boston. So that I did. I arranged for my son to be taken care of and I left for Boston. The trip started off pretty bad and that should have been my first clue as to how the rest of this horrid experience would be. I was told via Email to find a way to my Airbnb. At this time my travel was not covered. The Uber to the Airbnb was 55$. At this time, I had not been payed and could not afford this type of trip. Luckily I have a wonderful cousin who is an Engineer at Gillet. She was able to leave work early and pick me up from the airport.
