I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Very interesting and asked personal interests. They did not follow through with checking references. Made sure you were ready for multiple steps of service. Overall a great experience working here and the team ambiance was great.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Bridgewater, NJ)
Interview
Nice and easy, the process was simple and smooth, they asked about previous experience, and that's really it. If you are looking to work somewhere with higher checks, go here.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty straightforward, they ask about your experience and how you would deal with certain customers. They ask about problem solving skills and customer service scenarios. They ask what you want from the job and where you see yourself in 5 years.
Simple interview process. Go in person and answer some basic questions with floor manager and they'll let you know if you got the job or not pretty much right there. Pretty sure everyone will get in.
