What would you say you excel at over more seasoned employees?
How quick I can adapt to change, from rules to new menus.
What’s the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome?
Long hours and lots of labor. When times get stressful in a kitchen and people lose motivation or start yelling, you’re trying to also keep your cool.
How do you think the industry will change in the next five years?
I think as technology grows, things will start to move faster and that only means faster turnover.
