Updated draft Red Robin Interview Grid

1. What interests you about employment at RR?
(looking for, opportunity, camaraderie, the ample opportunity to ‘clap’ and sing)
2. What experience are you bringing to RR?
(looking for, any type of music/rhythm courses, and 10 full fingers ready to clap!)
3. How many birthday type songs do you know?
(looking for at least 5 (happy happy birthday-, happy birthday to you- Feliz Cumplianos a tu’, etc. etc.)

Situational Questions -
You have spotted three ‘free’ drink refills, and two ‘bottomless’ fry refills in your section…at the same moment you hear the ‘warm up clap’ begin for one of ten birthdays in the restaurant that hour…what do you do and why?
(Looking for - grab all refills-deliver them to the kitchen and run to the clap line without delay, picking up the refills as the birthday line snakes by and delivering the refills without leaving the birthday snake line).

You have been informed that there are three birthdays in your section at the same time what do you do and why?
(Looking for - celebrate each birthday with the clapping line - equally spread out 10 minutes apart so as not to intermingle the birthday situations).

You are running low on clappers for the day what do you do and why?
(Looking for - Clap in triple time - louder than usual to make up for the absent clappers).

You notice someone not clapping as fervently as we like here at RR - how would you handle this situation?
(Looking for - stand in next to them and try to infect them with birthday cheer! (and if that doesn’t work, informing the Head Clapper at once of the poor attitude)).

If hired, what are your career aspirations here at RR?
(Looking for - hopeful promotion from Bottomless Fry Filler to Birthday Clapper to Lead Birthday Clapper to Head Birthday Clapper to Clap and Birthday Jingle Supervisor).

True or False questions:
Birthday signing/clapping sessions are permitted in the bar? (True)
How about on the Patio? (True)
Bottomless Fries come with free refills (true)
You should always try and sell a dessert (mud pie) (true)
Free drink refills are free (true)

(note to interviewer - ‘HIRE” if candidate gets all 5 T and F questions correct - if they don’t it results in an automatic ‘no hire’ decision).

This week’s mantra. (Captured on the go with my Siemens S66)
