Interview
Interview was very casual, felt more like a conversation than an interview. The owner was really nice and personable. They also set up a shift where you can come in to see how the restaurant is ran and if it would be a good fit.

Interview
Toronto, Spring of 2018- I came in and dropped off a resume, a very kind young woman interviewed me. She was impressed with my resume and offered me the assistant GM position, but I had to come in and talk to her boss.
The guy put me a little on edge. I flubbed a bit in the interview. He was very infantalizing to the lady who originally interviewed me, and to a lesser degree, to me (I am female). He asked me questions, and asked for references, I provided. The interview concluded, he called my references and asked me to call him. I called him and he said that he was going with someone else. I thanked him, then later, emailed him and asked him why if my references were good. He said that they did not cover the work that I would be doing. I asked him another question and he did not respond.
Toronto is a brutal job market, I am glad that I am no longer there. The pay would have been low ($40K) and if it were up to the initial lady who interviewed me, I would have been hired. She was terrific person, smart, lovely personality, and she and I would have made a great team and we would have complimented one another. Her boss, however, was clearly a bit misogynistic (not uncommon in this industry) and I would have been miserable having to deal with him, so it was for the best.

Interview
Interview was short and not many hard questions. Other candidates came at the same time, unorganized and desperate for workers. Was offered a kitchen position which I did not apply for. Was told to come in for 1 hour but I could not by law be paid, was offered a free meal.
