I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lucky Baldwins (Pasadena, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Was refereed by an employee and interviewed with the Head Chef, brief and to the point. Fairly easy. 1 on 1 interview. If you have restaurant experience already you basically have the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Specify that you can multitask with bussing tables and washing dishes. And able to follow opening and closing procedures.
