You may be asked about how you would contribute to the team and role-play a scenario where you must deal with an angry guest. Present yourself as being an upbeat, jovial, and attentive potential employee to make the best impression.

I was asked about my current job at the time, substitute teaching and subcontract work. I have owned a small cleaning business and have 6 years restaurant experience so there were questions about service related issues. I was actually more experienced and knowledgeable than management which made the interview easy but like most situations it was not a plus once I was hired.

They asked set questions from a script set out in front of them and never varied from these questions. Just asked about my experiences as I could seeing them reading from it. They asked each other which question what ones they were asking.
