Purpose:

RA’s Chef/Lead Cook Test is useful for screening potential employees who will be responsible for planning, preparing, presenting and overseeing an establishment’s culinary offerings.

The Chef/Lead Cook test should be used to find creative, detail-minded and professional employees who can effectively lead a restaurant crew. The most successful candidates will be good time and budget managers, able to build and work with strong, cohesive teams, and possess the interpersonal skills to effectively interact with coworkers and patrons. They will be hard-working and accountable, setting a good example for those around them.
