What to check when screening

  • Look for real experience running a line during busy services, not only cooking at home or in small events.
  • Check their food safety training, such as HACCP, and how they apply it day to day.
  • Ask for photos of dishes they have plated and the menus they have built.
  • Confirm they have managed stock, ordering and a team of cooks.

Questions to ask in interview

  • How do you work out the cost of a dish and set its portion?
  • Tell us about a service where everything went wrong. What did you do?
  • How do you train a new cook so their plates match yours?
