What ホールスタッフ(レストラン) do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

外食店舗、特にレストラン等で来店するお客と直接接し、料理やサービスを提供する。ウェイター・ウェイトレスと呼ばれることもある。
 料理のオーダーを取ったり料理を運んだり、食器類を下げることだけではなく、店舗内における様々な業務も受け持つことが多い。例えば、予約の電話受付を行い、来店したお客を入り口で出迎え、席まで案内し、オーダーを取りそれをキッチンへ伝え、出来上がった料理を運ぶ。食事が済んだら会計を行い、終わった食器を片付け、テーブルを拭いて次のお客様を出迎える用意する。
 空いた時間には客席の紙ナプキン等を補充したり、テーブルと椅子を拭いたりすることもある。お客が過ごすスペースを清潔に保ち、気持ちよく食事ができるようにするのも大切な仕事である。同じ職場で働くスタッフとも連携、協調しながら常に客席に注意を配り、クレームなどがあった場合、迅速に対応する。食事だけでなく、時間と空間を楽しめるようにするのが役割であり、お客にメニューの説明をしたり、料理について聞かれた際に答えられるよう、料理等の知識も求められる。
 店舗では、正社員のほかパート・アルバイトとして働くスタッフが多い。パート・アルバイトスタッフは接客を中心に受け持ち、正社員や店長の仕事をサポートしている。正社員の場合は、新しく入ったアルバイトや社員への指導を行うのも仕事である。

 厚生労働省が定めた技能検定の「レストランサービス技能士」を取得することで、接客サービスのスキルが評価される。
 食物を取り扱い、接客サービスを行うので、清潔を保ち、料理などの運び方や置き方、身のこなし、言葉遣いなど丁寧な対応が求められる。また、食事の進行状況を見ながら次の料理を出すタイミングを厨房に伝えるなど、接客スキルと気配りが重要となる。長時間の立ち仕事に耐えられる体力と、お客の要望に常に安定した気持ちで対応できることも必要である。
