Hotel Restaurant Managers

Employment for food service managers who work at hotels and motels is expected to grow much faster than the average for all careers through 2033, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH). Job opportunities will grow faster than the average at casino hotels. The OOH says that "jobseekers with a combination of work experience in food service and a bachelor’s degree in hospitality, restaurant, or food service management should have an edge when competing for jobs at upscale hotels and restaurants."

Job prospects for managers of hotel restaurants are often tied to the economy, with the amount of business and leisure travel improving or declining depending on the resources businesses and people have to spend on travel and hotel stays or eating in restaurants. Managers working for larger national chains and franchises such as Hyatt Hotels Corporation or Marriott International are better protected by the hotel’s reputation than self-employed managers or those working for single-standing operations.
