The interview process at Applebee’s typically begins with an online or in-person application, followed by a phone or in-person interview with a manager. Candidates are often asked about availability, previous customer service experience, and how they would handle common restaurant scenarios. The process is usually casual and friendly, focusing on personality, communication skills, and teamwork. For kitchen staff, questions may center on food safety and prep experience. For servers or hosts, there may be role-playing situations. Most applicants complete the process within a week. If hired, orientation and training begin soon after, covering company policies and job-specific duties.

very smooth process and the interviewers are super nice and welcoming. It was also a good opportunity to know more about them and the company as well. Overall very good interview experience on my end.
