You are the glue between the head office and the floor, you make sure that all the numbers are right, your team is happy, the HACCP is in order, and every single guest leaves satisfied so that the review scores remain high. In addition, you always take a critical look at all the figures; you see opportunities for savings and innovation.

As a manager, you make sure that every employee is well trained, that everyone is well trained and fully involved in the company.
