The hiring process at Noodles & Company can vary greatly depending on the position and restaurant location, but usually involves an interview by phone or in person. The hiring process for a restaurant position takes one week. The hiring process for a management or corporate position can take three to four weeks.

For a restaurant position, such as a server or busser, you can apply at the restaurant or online. If you're applying for a management or corporate position, you will need to apply online.

If you come to fill out an application in-person, be prepared for the possibility that you may be interviewed on the spot. If you want to impress the hiring manager, come in with a resume in addition to filling out an application.
