I am currently working as a Customer relations Manager in Mr Wong’s restaurant. As a prime requirement for this position, my primary role is to ensure the smooth functioning of our entire food and beverage supply and managing the team who delivers it. I underwent a two-year graduate programme with a restaurant, starting as a team member and rotating round the housekeeping, front desk and food and beverage teams. The cross training was invaluable as it allowed me to see where my department fits in to the restaurant experience. I am currently responsible for all aspects of food and beverage provision - not just the food and drink but also the equipment, crockery, health and safety of staff and people management. I enjoy helping staff to …show more content…

Effective managers also mitigate their stress by being proactive and anticipating issues before they arise (such as supplier issues, equipment problems and staffing shortages).
Physical Stamina
Managing a restaurant is tiring work that demands a lot of physical energy. Restaurant managers must be able to spend long periods of time on their feet while maintaining an upbeat, personable attitude.

As many consumers and employees witness, managers tend to gain more respect when working with their team as oppose to using their position to work against their team.

Stewart O’Nan is able to make Manny DeLeon’s job intriguing and his character distinctive and ultimately tragic. Manny’s personal life adds an aspect of drama, but certainly the main reason why the book held charm was because of Manny’s nature.

In addition to being fast paced, restaurants are also demanding. Even the most gracious or giving individuals can become sour and spiteful when hungry, angry, or worst yet hungry. Given their proximity to customers, front of house staff tends to be first in the line of fire. Resiliency helps me back from criticisms and complaints, warranted or unwarranted. Empathy is another skill learned. I have seen, heard, and felt the effects of a verbal shakedown from an unhappy customer. From this, I learned how to act in a way that is pragmatic and compassionate. They do not call it waiting on tables for no reason. Patience is crucial for success in the service industry. Try bullying my customers into selecting an appetizer or rushing them out the door
The kitchen of a bustling restaurant is not the place for the faint of heart. The goings-on of a regular kitchen staff are stressful enough to make some workers take off their aprons and walk out the door, no concern for even their last check. These sweaty, fast-paced, profanity laden areas are quite contrast to the front of restaurants, where nicely dressed hosts stand smiling and pristine, waiting to seat you at a table where you will be treated like royalty. While most people are aware of the fact that the kitchen of a restaurant is a heated and hectic hole of tension, few recognize the structure that keeps it that way. In a foiled attempt at efficiency, many restaurants employ an assembly-line inspired method to prepare guests ' orders. Moreover, the rest of the restaurant often operates in a similar fashion, with workers being capable of but a few tasks each, having little power or ability outside of those that they 've been taught. Due to this sad, cyclic path that usually ends in confusion and stress, one might argue that the restaurant business is in need of a massive bureaucratic overhaul.

I have always wondered what being manager of a restaurant would be like. I wondered what responsibilities, day-to-day tasks, skills, and necessary requirements the job would entail. I sat down with Mike Lueoff, who is the assistant General Manager at the Sturgeon Bay, WI Culver’s, to discuss some of the details of his position at the fast food restaurant. Mike has worked at Culver’s for a total of 12 years since 2001, although he has been transferred from Madison, WI to Aurora, IL to Green Bay, WI and back to his home town of Sturgeon Bay, WI. He is an expert on Culver’s policies and business management after having 12 years of experience, 6 of those years spent as a manager in Sturgeon Bay.

Staff and servers will be trained on food techniques, customer service and proper restaurant mannerisms ensuring repeat customers.
Lifetime skills expected to take from this experience is communication, finance, multitasking, cooking, management and leadership. Communication is a skill essential in a fast food restaurant when you're handling situations quickly no matter if it is with a customer or employees. Knowing the right way to speak and treat them can make a difference in whether a customer will return or not and reminding employees to remain productive in less busy time. Multitasking is another essential since managers in charge of the grill focus on the amount of meat being cooked by crew member and if they have enough meat in the cabinets. While thinking about these they also have to focus on the amount of orders there is and making sure each sandwich, breakfast
The front men greeted and served umbrella drinks, and ensured that groupings of 8 were rounded up and ready to sit-to maximize capacity and utilization. Simple menus made for quick food prep, and prepared for the chef so he could take the cart for more than 1 table and go. BP installed quick cooking pizza ovens reducing wait times and increasing customer satisfaction. What kind of managers should be hired for BP? Hospitality or food? A lost vision and identity in this regard made it difficult for staff to have efficient control, while additionally needing a staff person who understands robot technology.
Dealing with the most important issue facing restaurants across the country today, is the personalization of their eating atmosphere. Human resources control a lot of what the employee desires, and in turn, creates a warm, friendly effective service the customer desires. The importance of this task leads to another pressing issue: employee commitment. Mrs. Fulmer stated that it is very hard to maintain a committed staff in this industry. They strive to be compassionate towards their employee 's wants and needs by holding annual evaluations of the management itself. This allows the employee to give their input of things they believe would improve success in the years to come.

To start off, the organization in the Fast Food Industry is extremely complex. On the basic level, restaurant will usually comprise their workers with Crew Members, Crew Trainers, Maintenance Members, Preparation Members, and Crew Leaders. The industry organizations will divide the crew into these patches in order, for them to achieve their business goals. Typically, we will see industry leaders such as McDonald’s divide their management staff in many segments. This would include Floor Supervisors, Swing Managers, First Department Managers, Second Department Managers, Third Department Managers, and the General Managers. This gives the restaurants a variety of staff and more promotion opportunities that could be exceeded in the restaurant. Beyond the restaurant we will see Patch Managers, District Managers, Opps Managers, the CEO if the company is not bought out, and then the Board of
