Food Service Managers

Restaurant Managers

‹ ›

Plan, direct, or coordinate activities of an organization or department that serves food and beverages.

Although most food service managers qualify for their position based on their restaurant-related experience, an increasing number of employers prefer managers with a 2- or 4-year degree in a related field.
Food service managers coordinate a wide range of activities, but their most difficult tasks may be dealing with irate customers and motivating employees.
Job opportunities for food service managers should be good, as the number of managers who change jobs or leave this occupation is typically high and, in the long run, as more are hired to meet the growing demand for convenient food service.
