Interview
I applied online and got a call back within a couple of days. I went to the location that I applied for and had an interview with the general manager. He mainly asked me what days and times I would be availble and if I was willing to work weekends.

Interview
They ended up calling within two days of submitting an application and asked for an in-person interview. The interview itself was done within the restaurant with the manager, and mostly revolved around casual questions regarding your current situation, as well as personality. They also seemed to gauge during the interview what position you would be most suited for, as far as working the registers or food preparation.
