Restaurant managers perform many basic activities as they go about their job. The extent to which they can successfully complete each of them impacts theirsuccess.

* Organizing: Developing and grouping work tasks.

It would be very convenient if a restaurant manager could manage “one activity at a time”. Ideally, he/she couldspend time planning (for example, developing a budget).
Then, the manager might spend time organizing procedures in a specific department and then coordinating work efforts between departments. Theideal workday could continue with specific times set aside for staffing, directing, controlling, and evaluating. In fact, however, the manager´s work is much more complicated.
