It was a quick and hands-on interview, focusing on knife skills, station experience, and how I handle pressure. The cook was direct, confident but not arrogant, and stressed reliability, teamwork, and learning by doing during busy shifts.

It was pretty simple and easy. They asked about what I expected from the job, my past experience, and when I could work. I had to pass a drug test and get a health certificate, and then I started about a month after that. The managers were cool and understanding, and they even trained me in other areas too.

The interview was professional and well-structured. It started with introductions, then went into questions about my background, experience, and technical knowledge. They asked how I’ve handled situations concerning customer interactions, product demonstrations, and working independently in the field. We also discussed the role, expectations, and company culture. I got to ask questions about training, team dynamics, and growth opportunities at the end. It felt like a conversation.
