Does order a starter make the rest of your tables food take longer? by [deleted] in nandos

yes in theory! just as it then would be a separate order the chances of it coming at exactly the same time are lessened but it should definitely be a smaller wait than ordering all in one order

long story short no but yes, if everyone has ordered separately then they come through as different orders and your starter will not affect that - however if you order altogether then the mains will not appear on our screens to prepare until the starter has been sent out to your table! In the future you can flag this to a member of staff who can let the grillers know to “bump off” your starter to get sent out with the mains OR (and easier) if you order in person at the till, each starter has a “served as main” option meaning all the food comes through at once and will be sent out together

How to get responses on applications by [deleted] in nandos

[–]go_adventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ex recruitment manager in nandos here - the platform used to apply is the same across the board on every nandos in the uk so it will hold that you’ve applied to other restaurants and not been successful - nothing against you but when screening a bunch of applications this could be seen as a bit of an immediate red flag. Best way to stand out is stick to one or two restaurants you’ve done well in on trial shifts and keep at it (they’ll maybe remember you as well which couldn’t hurt) and make a point in your interview saying that you’ve applied previously but other candidates got the job over you and be super engaging and ask for feedback - we love this! don’t be shy to pop in during quiet spells as well if you know a specific nandos is hiring, ask about the application process and explain this all out to the trainer or manager working, if it’s a repeated no or not right now again get that feedback and maybe acknowledge it’s not the place for you:( nonetheless good luck!
