Expeditor

The food expeditor ensures that all kitchen orders are prepared in a timely manner and according to menu and customer specifications. An expeditor also finalizes the presentation of the plate and may test the temperature of the food. To keep orders flowing from the kitchen to the diners, an expediter directs kitchen runners and wait staff who are delivering completed orders. Final accountability for food presentation and order accuracy belongs to the expeditor.
