What 飲食チェーン店店員 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

飲食チェーン店において、接客や厨房での調理を行う。飲食チェーン店には牛丼、回転寿司、洋食、うどん・そばなど様々な種類があり、それぞれ仕事内容が異なる。
 例えば、牛丼チェーン店の店員の業務は主に接客、調理、清掃の3業務に分かれている。接客担当は、オーダーの確認、食券の回収、伝票の記入等を行い配膳、下げ膳を担当している。さらにレジ打ち等を担当し、預り金や釣り銭の管理、クーポンの扱い等を行う仕事もある。
 調理担当は料理マニュアルに従い牛丼を調理し、牛丼の肉盛り、鉄板の加熱調理を行う。食材の補充も業務の一環である。店舗ごとにある売上目標達成のため、いかに効率的に仕事していくかを考え、商品提供、注文、会計、片付けなど作業の優先順位を決めるのも調理担当者の重要な役割となっている。
 接客・調理の補助担当は紅生姜や紙ナプキン等カウンターセットの補充の要否に目を配り、サラダ等の副菜を皿に盛りつけ準備する。洗い場で食器、調理器具の洗浄業務も行う。また、椅子・テーブルまわり、調理場などの清掃も行う。
 いずれの業務もマニュアルを理解し実践する。
 また、回転寿司の例でみると、店員の業務は、大きくはホールとキッチンの仕事に分けられる。ホールの仕事は、来店者の接客、案内、調味料の補充、テーブルの片付け等を行う。
 注文をとったり、来店者への注文用タッチパネルの使用方法の説明も行う。慣れてくると会計時のレジ業務も担当する。店内の清掃を行うこともある。
 キッチンの仕事では寿司や汁物の調理を行う。茶碗蒸し、うどん等のサイドメニューも作る。作り方はすべてマニュアルにあるのでその通りに行う。経験を積んで寿司用の鮮魚の切り付けを行う場合もある。切り方は現場で習いながら身につけていく。
