Role
Restaurant Shift Supervisor
The hiring challenge
The shift supervisor holds the operation together at the busiest moment of the day with a tired team and rushed customers. They usually come up from the operating line, so the challenge is whether someone who served well can now lead, assign tasks, and resolve conflicts on the spot without losing the customer relationship.
What to assess
Leading on the spot, organizing the shift under pressure, and handling conflicts with the team and customers.

Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.
