Interview - Sandwich Shop Owner

We filmed at a sandwich shop in Moreton called Veronica's were we asked him a range of different questions:-

1. What is your favourite sandwich?

2. Do you consider a sandwich a healthy option?

3. What made you want to run a sandwich shop?

4. Tell me about a typical day here?

5. Why do you think people like sandwiches? What’s the appeal?

6. Tell me about your sandwich range, most expensive, cheapest......?

7. What do you say to the criticism that sandwiches are unhealthy?

8. What would you consider the perfect lunch?

9. How do you come up with new fillings to put in the sandwiches and do you test them first or just put them on sale?

10. Do you have regulars and if so, do they always get the same?

11. What do you think the appeal is of sandwiches?

12. Do you do requests and if so, what was the most unusual?

13. What are the most and least popular sandwiches bought?

Before the interview we filmed cutaways that went with the questions and had to film some of the questions twice as he had customers and he also looked at the camera a couple of times. Overall this interview was successful and we will be using most of the questions in our final documentary.
