I applied online. I interviewed at Jack's Wife (SoHo)
Interview
Similar experience to what others have shared. Was invited under the guise of what was supposed to be a 1:1 interview, turned out to be an open call. Management sat inside at a high top while a stressed server tried to manage over 40 applicants waiting outside in the rain on top of the 8-10 tables he had sat. I left after waiting for 20 minutes. Complete disregard for the time and energy of their applicants. Offensive.
Great for first time servers. They look for good work ethic and hospitality over experience. It helps to have experience, but a good interview can get you through the door.

Question 1
Do I do anything outside of working in customer service?
