QUESTION 14 OF 25

Why do you think people choose to dine at Olive Garden?

We know that customers have an almost endless number of options when choosing where to dine out, which is why we create such a welcoming, hospitable environment that treats our customers like family. With all of the many options available, why do you think makes people choose to eat at Olive Garden?

"One of the things that sets Olive Garden apart, to me, is that the waitstaff is so knowledgeable about the fresh ingredients, new dishes, and wine pairings available. I like to ask my servers' opinions about which dish I should choose, and I've never had an Oliver Garden server tell me they didn't have a preference or hadn't tried a specific dish. They're all enthusiastic, they're all knowledgeable, and they're all warm, friendly, and inviting. That's what I look for when I go out to eat, so I imagine that's what stands out to a lot of Olive Garden customers."

Anonymous Answer

Besides the great hospitality and unlimited Salad and breadsticks, Olive Garden has that home environment that many restaurants don't offer.

Rachelle's Feedback

This would be another great opportunity to discuss their famous motto :) Or, you could also discuss their affordable price point and value for money. If you are interviewing for a management role, perhaps you could touch on how great their training program is, and that you believe people notice the difference in service and customer dedication.
