Working at A Japanese Restaurant? But i dont know anything bout Japanese food.?

Question:

So i have an interview with a Japanese restaurant on Saturday for a busser postion. I have like no experience with Japanese food or even bussing. Should i bring anything. Im 18 year old male. And most of all do you think i should even go because ive seen the people that work there and they are all Japanese. And i look like a complete Italian surfer guy lol. And should i wear a white shirt with a tie if i do go or just like a casual polo? any answers will help thanks.

Answer:

I think that so long as you have a friendly attitude, and have the capacity for learning/memorizing pronounciation of certain foods (in case anyone has any questions), you should be fine. Japanese people tend to be very hospitable, so they will also want you to reflect the restaurant's hospitality. Also, be open to learning the culture and the language, which you will as you work there.

As for what to wear, just dress in a dress shirt if you have one, and slacks. Or a nice, solid-colored shirt.

Edit to add: you don't have to learn the language, I said you have to be open to learning, such as simple phrases like good morning or good bye (because if you did not know, "sayonara" is Japanese for farewell). They may not require it since you're not Japanese, but my point is that you have to be open to learning if they want you to.
