"I am newer to my management career, so I performed some research on the topic, hoping to gain an understanding of the average pay for a food-service manager in this area. The ranges I saw were 16-18/hour depending on experience. Do you have an amount in mind for this position?"

This question is a creative way for the interviewer to ask about your desired pay for this role. Be honest about what you are hoping to make. Avoid asking for too little, or for too much. Using an online salary calculating tool, like the ones from Glassdoor or Indeed, will help you to determine the average ask for your position, years of experience, and even location. You can also use your current salary as part of the basis for your ask.

"I am currently earning 19/hour and am up for a raise to 21/hour in the next couple of months. My ideal salary is 21-24/hour plus health benefits, which I believe is a fair ask for this role."
