About the role
This interview tests your ability to run food and beverage outlets as both service operations and commercial businesses. Expect the panel to explore guest experience, coordination with the kitchen, food safety, stock and labour controls, and how you develop supervisors across different shifts.
How to prepare
- Review how you read sales mix, margin, stock variance, waste and labour information.
- Prepare an example of stabilising a difficult restaurant, bar or function service.
- Refresh the controls you use for receiving, storage, allergens, cleaning and incident response.
- Think through how you forecast demand and deploy people across outlets and functions.
- Prepare a guest complaint example that led to a lasting process improvement.
Common mistakes
- Discussing sales without explaining margin, waste and stock movement.
- Treating food safety as solely the chef's responsibility.
- Giving guest recovery examples with no follow-up on the root cause.
- Relying on extra staff instead of showing how you plan and prioritise.
