What should a restaurant manager put on a resume?

Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

A restaurant manager should put both general and specific skills and responsibilities on their resume. Managing a restaurant allows you to list a variety of impressive 'core skills', which is the first section of your resume under your contact information and 'professional statement.'

The professional statement is your lead which allows you to get personal and describe what you want to offer your new employer.

Example: With ten years working in Vegetarian cuisine, consistently boosting margins by 8%-10% by changing the menu and upgrading the restaurant layouts, I look forward to sharing my expertise and further growing my experience in hotel dining.

In the 'core skills' section, you can include leadership, management, customer service, and excellent communication skills. In the 'Work History' section that follows, you can provide more details.

Under Work History, start with your most recent position. List your job title first, the name of the restaurant, and the dates worked. Next, in one sentence, offer quantifiable information about your achievements, typically the percentage increased in profits under your tenure.

Under the achievement line, you can organize your duties with bullet points offering qualitative information that gives an idea of your scope of control.
