You must be very careful about the kind of people you want to hire for your business since the people you hire can make or break your business. So whatever common people make out about the catering business but you must know very well that it is a very specialized business that requires people with a particular mindset. Doing Catering business is not as easy as putting on an apron and cooking, but it involves so many other aspects.
In addition to having the knowledge of cooking, the people you employ should have good manners and etiquette to properly handle earlier customers as well as impress and attract new ones. So you must follow certain guidelines to differentiate and hire candidates that will be perfectly suited for your business from those that don’t really care..
There is nothing wrong with you hiring someone who has no experience in the food industry but you do not want to hire them if you are new into the business. Since your initial weeks in the business would decide your future in the business, this may not be the suitable time to take an inexperienced novice and train him or her. You would definitely need the able assistance of a well experienced staff members to ensure that nothing goes wrong in those first days and help you to tide over in case something goes wrong.
There is always a tendency for the job applicants to misrepresent facts in their resumes whenever they apply for a new job to impress the employer, and so you should not believe everything given in the job application. So do not take every fact to be true and do not skip over any factual detail how so ever unimportant it may seem since then you will be making a huge mistake. So get employment verification to make sure that the person you are about to hire actually worked at the place they said they did.
So while you are hiring new staff, ask intelligent questions during the interview to learn more about the person. These questions can include about their earlier experience in games and other activities requiring teamwork.
Also ask the person to sell any well known product to you to check their marketing skills. Check out if they can think on their feet- ask them for candy buffet ideas in black and red. See if they can come up with a unique answer. The way they dress and the body language and attitude displayed during your interview would reveal their ability to impress get the confidence of your customers.
