QUESTION 29 OF 30

What is the largest amount of people you have prepared food service for?

The interviewer will be able to gauge better the amount of volume and responsibility they can pass onto you when they have an idea of your past and current responsibility level. Share with the interviewer some of the more significant responsibilities you have had.

Perhaps you were the team lead for a 500 person catered wedding, or maybe you helped to run a restaurant that was a hot-spot but only 60 seats. Each position you have will come with its unique challenges. Share those with the interviewer and assure them that you can handle the complexity of this role with Compass Group.

"In my current role, we have reservations booked out approximately three weeks in advance. Our main dining area seats 200 guests, and the lounge, another 300 guests. Because we are such a hot place to be right now, there is a minimal amount of reprieve. I would say, on average, with table turnarounds, we see 600 guests per evening."

"I have led foodservice for a wide range of groups, from 50 to 1,000. I can handle vast amounts of guests, and am ready to bring my best to Compass Group for every event."
