How do you feel about staging in restaurants?
I’ve never been asked to stage as a server, but have had a couple friends who had to work an unpaid stage shift before starting higher up serving jobs or chef jobs. I understand the ‘benefit’ for employers but I think that it doesn’t sound appealing to me as someone looking for work. #foodservice

Some of the restaurants want you to come and stage for 3 hours. It is not all day or all week. It is just a couple of hours to see your personality and compatibility with the restaurant team. Also, it is an excellent opportunity for the candidate, like the environment or not. I got offered a free meal for a staged couple of hours.
