Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Will you be able to swap in kitchen with employees if needed?
Was super easy. You just go to it like any normal interview and they don’t ask crazy questions either. As a part timer I wouldn’t do many hours so it was more so just getting to know me.
Professional questions and they seemed to care. They followed up with me and explained their pay structure to me thoroughly. No complaints or anything bad to say. Super nice and professional.
Great I liked them a lot and it seemed like it was a high functioning place with good food and good people and I would definitely go back and probably will tomorrow
