The interview process seemed to be mostly about the application itself, which I found a bit odd since they already had my resume. After that, there was a brief one-on-one chat in a hallway where anyone could walk by.

I sat down with the bar manager and the wine/F&B manager to discuss the responsibilities of a full-time server. We talked about Kimpton's core values and how to create 'Kimpton Moments' by going above and beyond for guests. They emphasized the importance of guest interaction and building knowledge of wine and spirits. We also covered how to course food and manage serving timing with tables.
