Multitasking, as a line cook they need to be able to handle multiple things at a time. One second they have maybe 3 things on line then someone needs a change or something on the fly. as the line cook need to remember all ticket orders, changes to which tickets are paired with which of your pans. Keeping a clear head is essential. Also clear communication with servers expo and and other cooks. It gets hot and it is fast pace. So ask if they can move quickly and efficiently, while communicating and multitasking. Also ask about how they focus and how their mobility is. If they seem to be a good fit ask them to come in and showcase how they work.
