QUESTION 30 OF 30

How do you test the quality of your ingredients?

Guests, customers, and consumers are extra discerning these days, and it's essential to Compass Group that they are known for delivering quality in everything they do. Testing the quality of your ingredients can happen a few ways. For fruits and vegetables, for instance, it can mean being seasonally aware of what is best used different months of the year. When it comes to meat and poultry, sourcing from local rangers could eliminate the need for flash freezing and transportation, making a world of difference in your dish. Discuss with the interviewer the ways that you ensure quality is always top of mind.

"I rely on my senses and seasonal awareness when it comes to choosing the best quality, freshest ingredients. I read a lot about food quality and know a fair amount about agriculture as well. You can rest assured that I will bring only the highest quality of work and ingredients to Compass Group."

"My sense of smell, and knowledge on what a particular ingredient looks like at it's freshest, is a significant factor in delivering high-quality ingredients. I have trusted vendors and suppliers, and also spend a good deal of time researching cuts of meat, the feel of certain fruits, and other important tips on freshness, that every chef should know."
