Saw this last night and asked my boss about it today to try and get some tips for you (I work on the counter in a cafe). She said that the best thing to do is to make sure that you don't ring up or just email the company. Always go in yourself and make sure that you seem interested in the job. I work a lot with the customers and she always said that when she hired me for dishes she always liked my friendliness and my welcome personality so decided to promote me as counter coverer - covering breaks and that for the main counter person. Then she promoted me again to be on the counter all of the time. So if you're going for a job that requires working with people, try and make yourself seem welcoming. Hope you're successful
