“Front of House” is a term that finds its origin in theatres; it referred to the areas of the venue that were open to the public, where staff were expected to interact directly with theatregoers. Being front of house meant demonstrating “hospitality”, which is the art of making people feel welcome, comfortable, and valued – creating positive, memorable, and personal experiences through genuine care and attention. Since then, it’s developed into a multi-billion-pound industry, where professional businesses and services are dedicated to providing welcoming experiences on a larger scale, by employing millions of people in front of house roles in a wide variety of sectors – from theatres, concert venues, and tour operators, to restaurants, bars, and hotels, plus high street retail and department stores, among many others. Despite its long history, the essence of hospitality remains the same – it’s about creating that unique, positive, personal interaction that makes someone feel welcome. This is where someone, as a member of front of house, plays such an important role, because they may just make or break a guest’s experience. In this course, we focus on front of house essentials within the food service industry, so we refer to working in a “restaurant” – but many of the same rules apply if your staff work in a cafe, bar, or takeaway too. We explore topics like setting tables, greeting guests, taking orders, serving food and drinks, taking payments, and how to communicate effectively with guests, including how to handle complaints.
