=== ✅ 3. Interview Answer: “What HR responsibilities did you handle as a restaurant manager?” ===

Here’s a strong, polished answer you can use:

Answer:
“In my role as a restaurant manager, I handled a wide range of HR responsibilities every day. I managed full-cycle recruiting, including posting jobs, screening applicants, interviewing, and making hiring decisions. I also led onboarding, completed all new-hire paperwork, and trained employees on safety, service standards, and company policies.

I was responsible for creating weekly schedules based on labor budgets, monitoring timecards, and ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws. I coached employees regularly, documented performance issues, and used progressive discipline when needed. I resolved workplace conflicts, maintained employee files, and made sure the restaurant stayed compliant with health, safety, and labor regulations.

Overall, the role required a strong HR foundation—hiring, training, scheduling, coaching, compliance, and employee relations—many of the same responsibilities found in HR Generalist and HR Coordinator roles.”
