Answer 1

Correct answers (four):

- Sequencing tasks in order of priority and according to your supervisor’s requirements — ensures work is organised and efficient.
- Sufficient mise-en-place has been completed to ensure service flows smoothly — prepping equipment, food, and stations avoids delays during service.
- Task lists are created so all staff know what jobs they are responsible for — clarifies roles and prevents gaps/duplication.
- Rooming (room/rooming) layouts take into consideration bookings — seating/layout must match expected covers and special requirements.

Not chosen:
- Making the supervisor feel important — not relevant to planning the work area.
- A de-briefing occurs before service — debriefings happen after; a pre-service briefing would be appropriate.
