About your past
You'd be delivering meals to patients' rooms. What do you think makes a good dining experience for someone stuck in a hospital bed?
What they are checking: Whether they see meal delivery as a moment of care for a scared or uncomfortable patient, not just dropping off a tray.
You'd work six five-hour evening shifts every two weeks, plus every other weekend and holiday. How does that fit with the rest of your life?
What they are checking: Whether they can truly commit to the evening, weekend and holiday schedule this role requires.
Tell me about a time you worked in a fast-paced job where you were on your feet the whole shift.
What they are checking: Whether they have the stamina and pace for a job that keeps them moving the entire time.
Tell me about a time a coworker needed help during a rush. What did you do?

Why does working in a hospital kitchen appeal to you over a restaurant or store?

What would you do
You bring a tray into a room and the patient says the food is wrong for their diet. What do you do?

About the work
How would you make sure the right tray gets to the right patient every time?

What do you know about food safety, like keeping hot food hot and cold food cold, or washing hands between rooms?
