interview at Journey kaffe

Dec.21.2013 was a special interview for me,I signed up an interview at Journey Kaffe. From the website, I know that i am going to create one new dish within four hours. Although the salary is very low, but i think it is worthy to try and get into depth of this restaurant's center ideas.
There were 9 persons registered but only 6 showed up, this is lowerert numbers they ever had.
Here is is 15th 覺旅觀護人挑戰日.

When i walked inside, i am supprised that there were so many books free from lending for their empolyees. Books about marketing, cooking, english magazines, branding, psychology, etc...

All of us siting in a circle, six interviees, 4 judges, 4 planners. The host-Ivy, asking everyone to talk about ourselves -who we are, why come here.

She did not ask anyone to start first, we took turn randomly. Everyone , including Journey Kaffee employees needs to speak out.

Then she asked us what do we think about candidate standards, how would they pick a suitable person from this team.

From my point of view, anyone who would come here for interview all attracts by the unique atmosphere creating by Journey Kaffe. 

The employee here are with same goal,  everyone can express their own opinion and company give them space to create ideas. It is an open space to talk, encourage employee to think, make their own values.

A problem solver,  not problem- escaper.

Teamwork is essential and leading be be led is not a problem.  Team member should play both roles.

The mission is : food supplier will not deliver one veg for next day, and we have to make new dish to replace morning breakfast.

We had 20 mins to discus : using food material on the table (potatos aubergines, peppers, mushrooms, spenish, cheese, totmatos, carrots, pesto, salsa source,  some seasonings.

We need to name our dish and tell what is selling point. Dish weight is about 2300 grams, (one salad bowl is 500 grams). isn't like in Mater Chef?? How fun is that !

After derlivering our thoughts to everyone, we had 50 mins to cook.Our work called : rainbow LEGO.

bottom will be using potatos (like switzerland potato pies, with cheese), on the top are stripe of different vegs. Carrots will be cut in long and ball shape, mushroom cooked , pepper grilled.slice tomatos.

They never see anyone use a lid to cover the pot, i wondering : its very normal to me lar.......(M/T, i thought they like me..)
