常見問題

What is the income outlook for food service managers?
According to BLS, 2023 median annual salary ~US$63,000. Entry-level around US$35,000-45,000, senior up to US$70,000-90,000. Earnings vary by restaurant size, location, and experience. Tips may add extra income.
Is it easy for food service managers to immigrate to the US?
Relatively difficult. This occupation is not in STEM fields, with fewer H-1B visa approvals. The most common pathway is through L-1 intracompany transfer or EB-3 green card, but requires employer sponsorship and proof of labor shortage.
Is a higher education degree required to become a food service manager?
Not necessarily. Many managers advance from entry-level; a high school diploma suffices. But a bachelor's degree (hospitality management or business) helps for large management structures. Certifications like ServSafe are often mandatory.
