Waitress Interview
With the ever growing restaurant and bar industry there are plenty of jobs for waiters and waitresses but yes unfortunately the hours and pay are not always that great.
A second job for most students to supplement their studies but some people make their career in this industry and work their way through many restaurants and maybe even become front of house. The opportunities are endless.
Some questions you could get asked at your interview:
What drives you to be in the food and beverage industry? What do you drink? What do you eat? What do you understand about food and drink? What do you do in your free time? They will want to assess how many late nights you will actually work.
Can you name 5 types of mushroom? If a guest presents you with a coupon that states not to be used in conjunction with any other offer and they have had an offer, how would you deal with this? What is your favourite dining memory? How do you gauge the success of a restaurant? Just remember the hours are unsociable and you will need good customer service skills but you will also learn many trades and get to meet a lot of people.

Hi,
Good ideal, pls try to keep posting. I like this topic very much and I will digged this one. Tks again.
Not something i could do personally, just because I dont like the hours/pay that comes with it. Yes its good for students or as a 2nd job, but it just wouldnt fit for me. Tips can be good, but dont rely on that, i would treat it as the first step on the ladder, or as a boost to income, or even to help pay towards your tutition if you are a student.
Good, useful thread, thank you.
