Brief, mostly showing you what you will be doing and how you should be doing it. Carried plates, learned how to serve. Poured wine, folded napkins. Watched an informative video.
I applied online. I interviewed at High Society in Oct 2019
Interview
Initial telephone interview which was quite brief and involved a few fairly basic questions. Then invited to a full day's training involving food hygiene/allergen training, company procedures and practical training (open bottles, setting tables, clearing plates etc). Once training is complete you can begin working immediately.
