Sample interview questions: Can you provide an example of a time when you had to handle a high-volume of orders without sacrificing quality?
Sample answer:
-
While working as a line cook at a fast-casual restaurant, I encountered a situation where we received an exceptionally high volume of orders during lunch rush.
-
To handle the increased demand, I maintained a calm and organized approach. I quickly assessed the situation and communicated effectively with my team to ensure we worked cohesively.
-
I prioritized tasks, delegating responsibilities among the team members to ensure each order was prepared accurately and on time. I ensured that all cooking stations were well-stocked with ingredients and equipment to avoid any disruptions during the process.
