Restaurant managers work towards the smooth functioning of a restaurant. Their job involves taking decisions and looking after every possible detail to make sure that the business runs into profits without hampering its reputation and standards. Looking after the inventory, the staff, maintaining good relationships with the customers, looking after the budget, maintaining records, prioritizing work and increasing the standard of the service are some of the many duties that a restaurant manager performs. The job is quite demanding and involves accurate decision making, planning and leading the staff. A cover letter for restaurant manager jobs should include all these skills. It should highlight their persona as a manager and what they can bring to the business.
