Put your most relevant experience up front on your resume. Lead with any food service or guest-facing roles you’ve held, plus a line about your ability to guide guests to seats and deliver a multi-course meal in a live setting. This lets the hiring team see at a glance that you’ve done similar work and can handle the pace and guest interaction.

Show how you’ll prove the must-haves with concrete examples. When you describe your customer service moments, include a brief note about staying positive, engaging guests in a show-like environment, and managing a busy table, along with your ability to lift 40 pounds if needed.

Be prepared to discuss how you’d manage a busy two-hour service. Have a specific story ready about keeping guests happy while multitasking, staying in character, and coordinating with teammates to keep courses flowing and seats tidy.

Ask a smart, show-related question. For example, inquire about how cross-training works and what paths exist for advancement, so you can understand how you might grow within the team beyond serving duties.
