Front of House Manager

The Front of House Manager is responsible for overseeing an establishment’s dining room and customer experience.

We are looking for somebody to undertake the following:

Interview and Hire Staff

Front of house managers are responsible for a restaurant’s bar and waitstaff. Hiring the right people for these roles is critical to a restaurant’s success and reputation. Front of house managers must occasionally develop a specialized hiring process to meet a restaurant’s needs.

Manage Staff Training

Even experienced servers, bartenders, hosts, and bussers might need training to meet the specific needs of a particular restaurant, so front of house managers schedule and direct training sessions. Training is even more critical for inexperienced staff, so they also arrange additional training to help set new employees up for success.

Supervise Upkeep of Guest Areas

The front of house manager is also responsible for supervising the cleaning and maintenance of guest areas. Directing staff to attend to messes or accidents and assisting in cleanup are both critical responsibilities in maintaining the customer experience.

Shift Planning

Ensuring each shift is properly staffed is essential to running a successful restaurant. Front of house managers use scheduling systems to assign waitstaff based on anticipated demand. They also direct staff to handle unexpected situations and customer concerns throughout a shift as needed.
