Question 1
If you can work in a high-paced environment and deal with all sorts of customers. They asked how do you deal with a difficult customer.
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.
