All three of my DDs applied at one time or another to a local espresso shop as have many of their friends, only one person made it past the first cut, and she had barista experience. Do you show any food or customer service experience? If not, is there anything you have done that you could put on the resume? Working in the school caf, the football fund raiser food booth, etc?

Also, if 100 people drop off an application in a week, I will eliminate via handwriting/neatness, experience, availability, my familiarity with any one on their references, etc. If there are tons of apps you need to stand out in a good way, like meet the manager, usually 2-4pm is the best time in a restaurant.
