The Restaurant Manager supervises the successful administration of a restaurant by hiring skilled staff, monitoring customer satisfaction, and ensuring that all products and beverages are ordered in the correct quantities. Their role is to hire and train staff members, ensure that health and safety protocols are adhered to, and keep a detailed record of income and expenses. Their responsibilities are to organize ingredients in the correct quantities for the kitchen staff, communicate with customers to receive feedback and manage complaints, and open and close the restaurant on time.
Steps to take to start your career as a Restaurant Manager and other jobs like it
- Consider starting as a hostess or busser in the restaurant you would like to work at. Take this time to get to know the restaurant, and share your interest in moving up.
- You will interact with customers regularly. Being friendly, attentive, and able to handle customer complaints professionally is essential. In addition, good time management, memorization, multi-tasking and being able to work on your feet for many hours is also needed.
- Consider the difference between a stand alone restaurant and a corporate chain. If you are considering staying in the Restaurant industry for your career, find a company that may allow growth not only as a manager, but in training for new restaurant openings and corporate positions. Additional skills may be required.
- Applying to a new restaurant opening is a way to start out without prior experience. Having a glowing personality, along with the skills needed for this line of work could get you a position in the restaurant.
Perks of Hospitality Industry:
If you're thinking about becoming a server, first of all, it's a way to make really great lifelong friends. I cannot stress that enough. I think the social environment and social impact that the hospitality industry brings, no, nothing else out there.
Becoming a Server:
Typically, if you are looking to become a server, it's not an entry-level restaurant position. Usually you would start out as a host or a hostess or a busser, and then work your way up. So the environment of a new restaurant opening though, is they're doing mass hiring. So when you're doing mass hiring, you're really, really focused on hiring, not only for ability and skill set, but personality. So if you have a shining personality and you wanna start serving without having to start off as a host or a hostess or a busser, that's a really great environment to do so.
Where This Path Can Lead:
So currently hold a senior manager of global operations role. I started in 2006 as a new server and at a new restaurant opening. The next role is bartending. And so bartending for me was probably the most fun I've ever had ever job wise. I quickly became a trainer for that company. So I immediately started to get to travel. After doing a few domestic openings, the brand started to go globally.
Career Opportunity:
So I had the opportunity to travel all over the world, which was a life-changing opportunity as well. I was able to go to places that I would never be able to go to on my own at that age.
