"My rule of thumb is never to say 'I don't know.' I always say 'I will find out.' This process of finding an answer could include researching our menu online, or asking a more tenured employee for help."

The interviewer wants to know if you are an independent thinker with the ability to find answers for yourself, when necessary. Explain that you would take the time to try and figure out the solution, but you are not afraid to ask questions if you need to. Also, show the interviewer that you understand the importance of giving the correct information when it comes to food and beverage ingredients. Food allergies and sensitivities are no joke!

"If I had a customer ask me about a product that I didn't know enough about, I would find the answer for them before giving a potentially false answer. I am okay with admitting when I don't know something, and I love to learn new things. Of course, I would find the answer quickly by asking my manager or finding it within the company's internal resources."
