Restaurant Manager Test
When hiring members of your restaurant’s leadership staff, this test will evaluate candidates’ managerial and supervisory skills.
Pre-Employment Test
Purpose: This pre-employment test for hiring restaurant managers will evaluate a candidate’s leadership skills, and their ability to coach and motivate others in a hands-on style while communicating well and organizing tasks for optimal efficiency. Your candidates for managerial-level restaurant positions should also be able to create a positive customer-oriented culture, where people work hard and enjoy their work.
