About the role
A Restaurant General Manager is accountable for the whole operation, including trading performance, service, food safety, staffing and the relationship between the kitchen and floor. The panel wants evidence that you can diagnose results, develop managers and protect standards during busy services.
How to prepare
- Prepare examples showing how you improved sales, controlled food cost or reduced waste.
- Review the operating indicators you use for labour, stock, service and guest feedback.
- Practise explaining your response to a serious food safety or cash control concern.
- Choose an example of developing a chef, supervisor or floor manager.
- Think through how you would assess local demand before changing hours, menus or promotions.
Common mistakes
- Discussing sales without showing control of food, labour and stock costs.
- Treating food safety as the chef's responsibility rather than a management duty.
- Solving every shift problem personally instead of building accountable managers.
- Offering discounts as the only response to a poor guest experience.
