What is the hiring process at Cafe Rio?

The initial step for all employees is submitting an application, which can be done online or in person. After this, applicants the company is interested in pursuing further will be asked to come in for an interview at the restaurant.

Prospective general team members will likely have a single interview, while applicants to managerial positions may have several interviews, as well as a trial shift.

For general team members, the interview process involves a focus on how a person will fit in with the overall team. An example of the type of question often asked in team member interviews is, "Would you mind singing Happy Birthday to me right now?"

The interview process for managerial roles tends to focus more on conflict resolution scenarios, and a candidate's leadership qualities. An example of the type of question asked for managerial positions is, "How would you deal with an irate customer?"
