Maintain Verbal Communication Food expeditors call out orders to chefs, check on the status of dishes, and call for waitstaff when food is ready to serve.
Keep Staff Well-Informed Food expeditors alert the waitstaff when the kitchen is out of a specific ingredient and relay special food requests from the waitstaff to the kitchen.
Monitor Portion Control Food expeditors are responsible for the food portions of finished dishes, ensuring they adhere to restaurant standards.
Meet Presentation Standards Food expeditors inspect every plate to make sure the proper garnishes have been applied and that dishes are free of smudges and spills before being delivered to the customer.
Keep Kitchen Areas Clean Food expeditors maintain cleanliness and order in all cooking, prep, and food storage areas, keeping these areas neat, well organized, and stocked with ingredients.
Adhere to Sanitation Standards Food expeditors make sure all kitchen and waitstaff follow sanitation standards keeping themselves, their tools, and their work areas clean and presentable.
Assist All Staff Food expeditors pitch in to help all staff as needed—cooking and prepping food, serving plates of food, and assisting with management tasks restaurant-wide.
Address Customer Complaints Food expeditors serve as a face for the kitchen staff, addressing customer complains and finding solutions that will satisfy customers.
Food Expeditor Skills and Qualifications
Food expeditors are professionals who work well in a fast-paced environment while managing multiple tasks and staff members. Employers look for candidates who can handle a high-pressure work environment, seeking out those who display the skills needed to succeed as a food expeditor:
- Communication – to relay information between dining and kitchen areas, and to assist customers
- Leadership ability – food expeditors keep kitchen staff working within deadlines, give orders to waitstaff, and manage issues as they arise in the kitchen and dining areas

Food Expeditor Education and Training
Employers look for food expeditors who have a high school education or an equivalent degree. Specialized culinary training is not required, though it can give candidates an edge over others applying for the same job. Primarily, employers seek food expeditors who have previous restaurant work experience. Food expeditors receive a one- to two-week training period where they perform the job under the supervision of a head chef or manager. Food expeditors are required to learn the entire restaurant menu and all restaurant protocols in the first few weeks of employment.
