Course Description

In this Managing Daily Front of House Operations and Transactions course, you’ll learn how Front of House, or FOH, teams manage operational routines that support daily restaurant service. We’ll also examine opening and closing procedures, and communication practices for coordinating with the kitchen. These processes help restaurants maintain organized service areas and accurate transaction records. Building on earlier service responsibilities, we’ll now focus on the operational procedures that keep restaurant service organized from opening through closing.

We’ll examine how FOH teams prepare the dining environment and service systems before guests arrive, presenting examples of opening inspections and equipment checks. You’ll develop the ability to recognize how communication with kitchen staff and table management practices support steady service operations. We’ll also explore order entry procedures and payment handling steps to give you a complete understanding of daily FOH operational procedures. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to explain how FOH teams manage operational readiness and transaction control during daily service.
