There are two ways to apply at Applebee’s.
The first one is to apply in person, by going to a specific restaurant and leaving the resume. This also means that the candidate will have to fill the Applebee’s jobs and employment form on the spot, which can take a while. The second option is to apply online, directly on the Applebee’s careers page.
To apply for Applebee’s jobs, candidates need to first choose one of the Applebee’s available positions. To do this, they must enter their zip code and the system will show a search page. On this page, candidates can search by keyword, field of activity, state, and city. After the candidate chooses one of these methods, or all, Applebee’s application system will generate a list of all the available Applebee’s jobs in that area that match the search criteria. Candidates will then need to pick one of the available positions by clicking on its name, and then the “Apply” button to begin the Applebee’s online application process.

A new window will appear, and the candidate needs to create a profile into the Applebee’s application system. This is easily done by providing the name, email address, a username, and a password. Once the candidate has registered into the system, he or she can now begin to fill the Applebee’s jobs and employment form. The first step is to give the full name, current residence details, and even a phone number, if the candidate thinks it necessary.

Not all this information is mandatory, only the full name and an email address, but it is a good idea to fill all the boxes, especially the phone number one, so that the candidate can be easily reached. The next step is to attach a resume. Again, this is not mandatory, but if the candidate has one, it is a good idea to upload it. Some of the information in it especially about education and prior work experience will be pre-filled in the jobs and employment form, and it will shorten the time it takes to complete the Applebee’s application process.
After uploading the resume, some details about the candidate’s education are required.
To write them, simply click on the “Add” button and a pop-up box will appear, where all the information needs to be filled in a specific format. The same will happen during the next step, the one about any prior work experience.

After completing this step, it is time for the candidate to go through a questionnaire which has the following questions:
- Are you 18 years of age or older?
- For bartender applicants in AL, CA, DE, IN, NE, NM, OH, OR, and WA: Are you 21 years of age or older?
- For bartender applicants in ID and servers in OH: Are you 19 years of age or older?
- Have you ever worked for this company before? If yes: Where and when?
- Do you have a relative currently working for Apple American Group?
- If you answered yes, what is the name of the relative and where do they work?
- Have you been convicted of any criminal offense other than minor traffic violations? (OR, NJ, MASS, RI, MN and San Francisco applicants should not respond.)
In this questionnaire, the candidate needs to also state his or her availability, Monday to Sunday, morning and afternoon. The next part of the questionnaire is made of six statements to which the candidate needs to agree. In short, you will be asked to certify that all the info is correct and accurate, that you want to apply to Applebee’s and are not forced to do so and that the company can terminate your contract at any time, without prior notice.
Once the candidates have agreed to all these statements and have answered all the questions, one more questionnaire follows, and it is about the race and gender of the candidates. Answering these questions is mandatory, but the company says that the answers have no impact on the chances of being hired.
The last step of the Applebee’s job application process is the review of the information provided, and candidates also have the option of releasing their profile in order to be considered for other Applebee’s employment opportunities as well.
The final step is to click on the “Send Application Now” button, and the Applebee’s application process is now complete.
