When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and your ability to stay calm under pressure. Start by explaining the immediate steps you would take to ensure that the kitchen operations continue smoothly, such as notifying a supervisor or using alternative methods to clean dishes. Mention any experience you have with troubleshooting equipment or any relevant training. For example, you could say:
"If a piece of equipment breaks down during my shift, the first thing I would do is inform my supervisor about the issue. I would then try to troubleshoot the problem if I have the necessary knowledge and training. If the equipment cannot be fixed quickly, I would look for alternative ways to complete my tasks, such as using manual cleaning methods or other available equipment. My main goal would be to ensure that the kitchen operations are not disrupted and that all health and safety standards are maintained."
