Outlook

Demand for restaurant managers is expected to grow more slowly than average. More restaurants rely on chefs and head cooks to oversee employees instead of managers. However, more people are eating out which means that more restaurants will open and need managers to oversee employees. 

Job opportunities at upscale restaurants will be competitive. Most openings will result from the need to replace managers who retire or transfer to other careers. Job prospects will be best for those who have a formal degree in restaurant or hospitality management.
