I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Express (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview was fairly formal,business casual with resume in hand. Pretty light, and too the point! Getting hired takes a bit though as after the interview theres a whole background check progess that's slow and finicky.

Be prepared to be distracted. You will most likely be interviewed sitting either inside a busy mall or curbside location. You must apply online on their website. You will be contacted soon. I was contacted by email a few hours after I applied.
