I interviewed at Panera Bread
Interview
good questions and nice environment for people that applies to all he positions. there is not discrimination of race, sexuality or gender in any restaurant. it as a very fast hiring process. not complicated applications or interviews.
The process was super casual in the sense that the manager made me feel at ease, considering it was my first job, and asked a lot about my competency in dealing with everyday customers. 1 round of interview, and the turnaround was about 2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Scenarios for handling everyday customers. This goes beyond just helping customers with orders; it goes into situations like allergy information and how to calm customers down.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Huntington Beach, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Post 1st interview at Seal Beach, CA, I was given a 2nd interview at my desired location-Main Street at Huntington Beach. Manager Casey was not at all what I expected: sincerely kind and incredibly easy to talk to. Asked me 'what's your fave movie?' and 'have you ever had a confrontation with co-workers?'. Easy questions and an easy-to-talk-to manager. Also got a free drink from a warm cashier. Great atmosphere.
The only flaw? Being told to wait a few days for a call, to see if I make it to a 3rd interview. Inconvenient and crazy!
