Doing a project what are all the staff positions for a restaurant?

Author: admin  //  Category: running a restaurant

I need to know all the staff positions needed to run a restaurant similar to the size of Chilies like waiters, chef positions ect

I can’t find any info on a good list…

I worked in one for years more to mention this was the break down. Now granted some of these are needed for both shifts and add about 2 to every position for weekends and special holidays.
1 General Manager (usually opened)
2 assistant managers (swing shift close shift)
1 Kitchen Manager – usually only worked days or 11-8
you need 3 cooks on the line and at least 2 prep cooks at night and 3 in the day(both Shifts)
about 2 to 3 bus boys(both Shifts)
1 to 2 hostess during peak hours (both shifts)
1 bartender (both Shifts)
1 bar back – unless you use bus boys for it
7 waiters or waitresses (1 being head waiter/waitress) both shifts.
1 food runner during Fridays and Saturdays or special holidays Usual a wait staff member
Hope that helped

    I work in a local restaurant that seats about 120 people, and we have a manager, 2 cooks, 1 dishwasher, 4 waitresses.
    Depending on the restaurant, you could have a variety of "chefs", a bartender, hostess, busboy, maintainence man.
    It all depends on the type of restaurant. Good luck!

    a good break down for one of those is
    1 gm
    1 Kitchen manager
    1 Bar manager
    1 server/ hostess manager
    plan on having enough servers to give everyone 4-5 table station to work.
    2-3 hostess depending on volume
    1 window cook
    1 fry cook
    1 grill cook
    1-2 expos
    1-2 food runners
    1-2 bartenders
    2 buss persons
    1 dishwasher
    for each shift.
    If your restraunt has a take out bussiness you might need a person just to run that
