First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Perry's Steakhouse.
Hostess
The interview process included thought-provoking questions. They seemed to really care about the candidates they were hiring. I actually chose this job offer over another opportunity primarily because of the quality of their questions. The people I met were also very kind.
- In your opinion, what distinguishes customer service from hospitality?
Server
My interview went pretty well because the managers present at the time were good people. Since then, things have gotten way more strict and the process now takes weeks. They're looking for candidates with a minimum of 2-3 years of prior server experience, especially with fine dining background being a plus.
- In addition to your current or past roles, do you have previous experience working in fine dining establishments?
Host
So I interviewed at Perry's Restaurant, in one of their private rooms. The person interviewing me first asked about my background and experience. Then, we went through a bunch of questions related to hosting and serving food. They had a manual they were following and were taking notes as we went. To wrap things up, they asked me how I'd handle a few specific situations.
- How would you manage a situation where a customer's reserved table is delayed?
- What sort of atmosphere would you strive to create?
- Do you know OpenTable?
Host/Hostess
The interview was pretty straightforward and mostly focused on prior work experience, although they don't really require any. This is often a first job, so they're looking for people who are hardworking and reliable. They also wanted to know about availability, and working weekends is essential.
- What is your availability?
- Can you work weekends?
