I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Eataly (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
Met with an HR manager on the first interview, and she asked very basic questions ranging from why do you want to work at Eataly to tell me more about yourself. A few days later, I was called again to speak with a manager from one of the mini restaurants. Just yesterday, I was given an offer but the pay was lower than what I requested in my first interview. The young lady I was on the phone with had a bit of an attitude when I requested to renegotiate my offer.
had a video interview with the manager.
it did not take long and she was very nice.
she asked me if I have an experience using Open table and what is my favorite Italian food.
The interviewer was moving through potential hires very quickly and did seem rushed, but was polite and professional. I was hoping for a server position but was eventually offered a host position. It was a fun and fast environment to work in but the hosts are not very well paid.

Question 1
The size and speed of restaurants I have worked at in the past.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Eataly in Jan 2022
Interview
It was very simple, they seemed to only care about previous experience as a host because it would be less work to train someone that has never done it for a high volume restaurant.
