19%
75.9/ 100
1 Share of the quick service restaurant team leader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sommelier profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A quick service restaurant team leader role treats 4 of its required skills as things a sommelier already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- comply with food safety and hygiene
- maintain customer service
- train employees
- upsell products
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A quick service restaurant team leader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sommelier background worth leading with.
- already held upsell products communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held train employees communication, collaboration and creativity
All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the quick service restaurant team leader role treats as required.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
