Cafe and restaurant managers hire and manage staff, manage stock and budgets, decide the pricing for goods or services and ensure customer needs are met.
Work is onsite at the cafe or restaurant, although catering businesses often perform work remotely at function centres, people's residences, or any location where events are held.
Cafe and restaurant managers should be organised, reliable and have good people skills.
Formal qualifications are not essential, however previous experience and a qualification in hospitality can improve employability.
