What is the hiring process at Firehouse Subs?

Most Firehouse Subs locations are owned by franchisees, so the process may vary from location to location. For corporate headquarter jobs, the process is usually more extensive and may include in-person or Zoom interviews, multiple interview sessions, and online assessments or questionnaires.

During the interviews, be prepared to discuss your previous experiences and ways that you have dealt with adversity. For positions that require food prep, emphasize your ability to multitask and to memorize the ingredients for each of the sandwiches or salads (acronyms and mnemonics are good ways to do this).

According to current employees, many of the interview questions for franchise and company-owned restaurant locations are personality- and experience-based. Examples include:

• "What can you bring to this position?"

• "Give an example of a time you were a team player."

• "What would your last boss say about you?"

• "What knowledge do you have of food safety protocols?"

Be prepared in advance with answers to these types of questions.
