These businesses range from fancy restaurants to fast food restaurants and cafeterias. The managers tasks are the same in all restaurants. One task is to select menu items. Once the menu is decided, managers estimate how much food will be needed. They order supplies and inspect meats and produce for quality.
Managers interview and hire employees.
For example, managers show hosts how to read and fill out seating charts. They show waiters and waitresses where to pick up orders and how to make credit card charges. Managers usually have a chef or cook train the kitchen workers. Occasionally managers fire workers. Restaurant managers supervise the kitchen and the dining room.
