About the framework

Org Chart for Restaurant Operations

This template divides restaurant staff into the two operational halves that define the industry: front-of-house (customer-facing) and back-of-house (kitchen). The GM bridges both sides, which is why they sit at the top center.

Headcounts in parentheses reflect a typical mid-size restaurant (50-80 seats). The FOH-to-BOH ratio of roughly 2:1 follows industry norms. The sous chef role is critical as the head chef's deputy who manages day-to-day kitchen operations.

Customize by adjusting headcounts, adding a bar manager for cocktail-focused venues, or expanding BOH with pastry chef and prep cook roles for fine dining establishments.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Can I adapt this for a larger restaurant?

Yes. Click 'Use this template' and ask 'Scale to a 150-seat fine dining restaurant with a bar manager, pastry chef, expeditor, and sommelier.' The AI will expand both FOH and BOH.

How do I add a food truck version?

Ask the AI to 'Simplify to a 4-person food truck team with owner-operator, cook, cashier, and prep.' It will create a flat org chart for small operations.
