The manager will be responsible for analyzing patient satisfaction metrics, implementing improvement plans, promoting patient safety, and ensuring compliance with sanitation, food safety, and regulatory standards. Additionally, the manager collaborates with culinary leadership to address food quality concerns and continuously improve operational performance.
