A food manager plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of a food establishment. To stay aware of what is happening, they must be actively engaged, observant, and organized. One of the most effective strategies is simply being present. Walking the floor, observing food preparation, and monitoring customer service gives the manager a firsthand view of daily operations. This visibility helps identify problems early, such as safety violations, poor hygiene, or inefficiencies in the kitchen.
