Front of House vs. Back of House Service Traditional service staff and their duties and responsibilities

Definition of Terms Front of House The front of house is the area where diners sit. Waiters, waitresses, and hosts interact with guests. These staff are said to be “on the floor,” since they are visible representatives of the restaurant. Floor staff are supposed to be courteous, informative, and neatly dressed, since their behavior determines whether or not guests enjoy themselves.

Definition of Terms Back of House The back of house is the staff area, where cooks and other support staff work to prepare food. This area includes other staff areas such as a break room and changing area. Cooks, expediters, and dishwashers work in the back of house, usually largely unseen by the public. In most kitchens, the back of house has a strict hierarchy, with each staff member performing a specific task.

Front of House Staff Maitre d’Hotel– The person responsible for the overall management of service at a fairly elaborate establishment. Headwaiter– Second-in-command. Oversees service in a particular area of the restaurant, such as a banquet room. If no maitre d’, the head waiter is responsible for the overall management of service. Captain– Responsible for running one “service station” or section of a restaurant that typically includes 25-30 guests. Takes customers’ orders and oversees one or two waiters and a busboy. Waiter– Assists the captain by attending to the customers’ needs throughout the meal. Busboy– Responsible for the most basic needs of the guests– filling water glasses, bringing bread and butter, and conveying dirty dishes to the kitchen/dishwasher.

Specialized FOH Staff Positions Chef/Proprietor– The person whose personal style is the defining characteristic of the restaurant. Host or Hostess– Greets the guests and shows them to their tables. Sommelier (or Wine Steward)– Usually only found at very formal restaurants. Chooses and maintains the restaurant’s stock of wines. Serves wines to customers. Bartender– Provides bar service during meals. Gives the finishes drinks to waiters for delivery to the tables or serves customers directly if they are waiting to be seated. Coat Checker– Seasonal worker who checks customers’ coats as they enter the restaurant.

Back of House Staff Chef de Cuisine– Has the vision and conceives the dishes for the restaurant. His/her personality imbues the whole restaurant. Executive Chef– Run the whole restaurant. Responsible for hiring and firing staff, determining costs, revamping the menu, taking care of all administrative tasks, interacting with dining room managers and overseeing the well-being of the restaurant. Sous-Chef– Always in the kitchen. Determines daily specials, takes inventory, oversees staff, does all the hands-on work. Chef de Cuisine Executive Chef Sous-Chef Expediter Pastry Chef Line Cooks Chef de garde manger

Back of House Staff cont’d. Expediter– This is usually the sous-chef. Serves as the liaison between the customers in the dining room and the line cooks. Makes sure that the food gets to the customers in a timely fashion, so that everyone sitting at a particular table is served simultaneously. Pastry Chef– Reigns over the pastry section of the kitchen. Traditionally, the pastry section has been assigned less status than the main kitchen. Line Cooks– The people who cook the food. Divided up by cooking technique (sauté, grill, etc.), or by type of food (fish, meat, etc.). Most cooks work up through the line before being promoted to sous-chef. Chef de garde manger– The person in the garde manger section or cold station. Plates all the dishes that do not require heat, and sometimes desserts, if there is no assigned pastry chef on the line.
