• Question 1: “How would you handle a table with multiple guests who all order at once?”
  
  • Expected Answer:
    
    • Candidates should explain a clear, organized approach (noting orders by seat number, repeating for confirmation, communicating to kitchen efficiently).
  • Sample Answer:
    
    • “I’d take orders clockwise from the host, repeat them back to ensure accuracy, and send them to the kitchen in sequence. I’d also confirm special requests separately.”
• Question 2:“If a customer has a food allergy and orders something containing that ingredient, what would you do?”
  
  • Expected Answer:
    
    • Candidates should emphasize guest safety, communication, and confirmation with kitchen staff.
  • Sample Answer:
    
    • “I’d inform the guest about the allergen, check with the kitchen for safe alternatives, and only serve the item after reconfirmation with the chef.”
• Question 3: “How do you handle billing when guests split the check?”
  
  • Expected Answer:
    
    • Candidates should display understanding of billing systems (POS) and accuracy.
  • Sample Answer:
    
    • “I’d confirm how they’d like the split — evenly or by item — then process each bill carefully through the POS system, ensuring totals and tips are correctly applied.”
