Application question(s):

Why do you want to work for us? Name the three most important things, to you, in a guest service cycle, explain your answer. It's a busy Friday evening and the kitchen is at full capacity. One of your team members calls in sick last minute, orders are piling up, and a dish is sent back by a customer. How would you handle this situation to keep the service running smoothly, support your team, and maintain high standards? You've designed a new menu item with your General Manager, and it's the first night it's on the menu. Partway through service, you realise the team is struggling with preparation and plating, and some dishes are not meeting your standards. How would you take control of the situation to ensure consistency and quality, while keeping the team motivated?
