what are the good question to ask the interviewer in applying a waitress in a restaurant?

Question

i appreciate those people who answers seriously.thanks!

Answer 1

As a general manager of a restaurant I first look at the persons attire then I make sure they brought their own pen (black in prefered for business applications. questions you need to ask would be hours of operation, average take home tips, is there tip sharing (if there is do not work there), insurance options, room to move up if you are thinking of making the restaurant business a carreer (I do not advise it), when are shedules posted, how long in advance do you need to have time off submitted, are there quiz's over the menu items, how long is the training, what are the sizes of the sections each server recieves, how many sections are there, what is the average PPA (Price per average) you can take this number multiply it by 18% and this will give you an average of tips you will recieve per person Not per table per person so if there is 3 people at a table you will take the ppa multiplied by 3 then multiply by 18% and you should make that amount in tips.

Up for your dream job? If you landed a job interview or two, congratulations. You've already made it further that 98% of the applicants.

That's right. Only 2% of the pool of applicants actually gets called in for an interview. While there are many, many things one can do to stand out in a job interview, this article will focus on questions to ask your potential employer. Not only are you answering a slew of important questions in a job interview, but you most likely (if not always) will be given the chance to interview the interviewers.

NEVER don't have a question or two prepared when the employer asks, "Do you have any questions for me?"

NEVER say something like, "Nope. I think you covered it all."

Rather, ask some intelligent questions. This shows the interviewer that you interested in learning more. Plus, it also may give you some telling information to help you decide if you really want to work for the establishment. Here are list of ten questions. Use a couple of them in each job interview so that you not only learn more about the company and position, but also to stand out among other applicants.

1. What are the major responsibilities of the job?

You may be applying for a job as receptionist. However, it may not be all about answering phones and scheduling appointments. Find out what you specific responsibilities will be. You don't want any surprises when you hopefully begin your new job! When it comes time to accept an offer, knowing your responsibilities will allow you to make sure you will be paid accordingly.

2. Would you describe a typical day and the things I would be doing?

This goes along with #1, however having the interviewer take you through the day-in-the-life of X-position will give you a glimpse into the position. How much time will you spend on certain tasks, on the phone, in meetings, on the road, etc.

3. How will I be trained or introduced to the job?

This one is important. If you happen to have experience in the field, this will show that you are open to learning this company's particular way of doing things. A waitress at every restaurant does things differently, for example. Also, some companies do not offer a great training program and instead, employees are throw into the mix. When this happens, sometimes the employee has a difficult time transitioning and may not be successful. So, this question does two things: shows you are open to learning as well as lets you know if you will get support.

4. Is there opportunity for advancement?

Some people are happy staying in one position forever. Other may want to advance. If you are one of the latter, finding out if there are opportunities to advance or move to other positions within a company can be telling. Many companies are known to promote from within, while others seek out management using other methods.

5. Who are the people I would be working with and what do they do?

Sarahsponda: Bravo! I think that it is important to ask questions in an interview...it not only makes a great statment about the individual being interviewed, but more than likely they will have a better chance at getting their foot in the door! Great advice for anyone on the "hunt"! Thanks for sharing! :)
Charlotte Kuchinsky: Great tips!: Good article, well written and certainly useful. It's strange, but these all seem to be such obvious and instantly forgetable suggestions. We know we should ask those certain questions, but once under the microscope... "Nope, I think you covered it all."


These are great suggestions. Every job seeker should research the company as well, which will bring up many more questions.

Answer 3

Toss in, "Will I be trained well?", and "What is your retention rate for servers?". The last one is important. If they say the average server only lasts 2 weeks...run! You want to hear that Jane has been here for 5 years and Dave has been here for 10 years and so on. That's a sign they treat their staff right.

Answer 4

How many servers do you have in a given night? That could give you an idea of how busy the restaurant is.

Answer 5

Arent you supposed to answer THEIR questions in an interview?
