I got a referral so I just interviewed with the area manager, which took about a half hour and then he extended an offer to me and asked that I get back to him within the next week.

The interviews were conducted in groups, which was kind of awkward. The owner eliminated one guy immediately for having a slightly visible tattoo on his arm, despite not having said anything about it before the interview. He wound up asking about my catering experience and had me plan out an entire catering menu for a party he was throwing. I spent several hours over the next two days planning an entire party, pricing it out, tracking down coos and servers to assist with the event and nearly renting out equipment. When I submitted my menu, he loved it. The next day he told me the party was cancelled so I had to call the cooks and servers and tell them their was no gig anymore. It was embarrassing.
