1Question

Tell me about a time you had to manage a difficult situation during busy service

During a Saturday evening service, our main oven broke down with 45 orders pending and a 90-minute wait list. I quickly assessed our backup equipment capacity and redistributed the workload across 3 smaller ovens and 2 grills. I communicated directly with front-of-house to manage customer expectations, offering complimentary starters for affected tables. I also reassigned 2 junior chefs to focus solely on cold preparations while I personally handled the most complex hot dishes. We cleared the backlog within 35 minutes, and despite the initial delay, received 12 positive reviews that evening praising our transparency and food quality.
2Question

Describe how you handle pressure when multiple orders are backing up

When facing order backlogs, I immediately prioritise by cooking time and dietary requirements, ensuring allergen-free dishes are prepared first to avoid cross-contamination delays. I communicate clearly with my team using our established call-and-response system, delegating specific tasks based on each chef's strengths. For example, during a recent Mother's Day service with 28 orders pending, I assigned our strongest grill chef to handle all proteins while I coordinated garnishes and plating. I also maintain constant communication with front-of-house, providing realistic timing updates every 10 minutes. This systematic approach helped us serve all 28 covers within 25 minutes whilst maintaining our quality standards.
