Restaurant managers are responsible for overseeing the efficient running and profitability of restaurants and for managing their employees.

Specific duties and the amount of customer/staff contact vary according to the size of employer: managers in larger organizations may be mostly office-based, whereas managers of smaller establishments often have frequent contact with both customers and employees.
