restaurant manager

Eatery's head honcho

A restaurant manager oversees the daily operations of a dining establishment—hiring and scheduling staff, ordering supplies, handling customer complaints, and ensuring health and safety standards are met.

The role bridges front-of-house and back-of-house concerns: The restaurant manager had to smooth things over after the kitchen fell behind on orders.

In smaller establishments, managers may also tend bar or seat guests.
