I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (New York, NY)
Interview
Apply online, you will receive a call if chosen. Management will speak to you over the phone for initial questions, then will schedule a date to come to restaurant for full interview. Upon arrival, the hiring manager will ask you basic questions. The normal time for an interview is around 20-30 minutes.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you worked under pressure. How did you perform?
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory
Interview
3 interviews, first 2 pretty much just about availability, last one was more scenario questions such as what you would do if you noticed a guest wasn't having a good experience and how to better it. Also asked about past work history, specifically if you've worked in retail or fast food/a restaurant before
