I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Carlson Restaurants (Peoria, IL) in Nov 2008
Interview
Easy. Talked to the manager, took a couple tests, got the job. Wear nice clothes, don't come in to apply during rush time, smile, and be polite, you'll get the job! Personality test. Don't answer anything stupid, or put a "?" for any answers. Point of the test is to make sure you can make decisions, so putting a "?'' for any answer results in a fail. Ask to talk to a manager when you put in your application.
