What Is Restaurant Management?
Restaurant management refers to the process of making sure that a restaurant is run profitably, efficiently, and in compliance with the relevant health and safety regulations. Restaurant managers are therefore responsible for a wide variety of tasks relating to:
- Financial management (planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting)
- Marketing management (attracting new customers and retaining existing customers)
- HR management (hiring, training and supervising restaurant staff)
- Customer service management (ensuring customer satisfaction and resolving customer complaints)
- Health and safety compliance
- Quality control (making sure that food is properly prepared and presented)
