I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IHOP (Atlanta, GA) in May 2017
Interview
Easy, asked practical questions. did not however mention no facial piercings, so i was not notified of needing to take it out until my first day of work. I still cooperated and ended up buying a plastic clear one. The interviewer was very laid back and understanding.

Question 1

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IHOP (Tucson, AZ) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview process entailed of the Manager giving me a rundown of what to expect working there and ensuring if I was okay with all the listed duties, I wasn't asked many questions.
The interview process was straight forward. I went in, asked for an application, filled it out, spoke to the manager, and I got the job within a few days. One of the questions I asked was if they did direct deposit, and they don't, they give paper checks instead.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IHOP (Alexandria, VA) in Apr 2023
Interview
I was waiting at a table, till the assistant manager came ask what position I was looking into. He gave me the papers to fill out and then asked me to come to the next part of the interview an other day. I come back and the manager asked when I can start working. I answered as soon as possible. He asked what do I want to do in my future and how long I plan to work there. I think I got hired because I could work as soon as possible, spoke Spanish, and would be working full-time.
