Très demandé en France comme à l'étranger, le premier maître d'hôtel évolue principalement dans des maisons haut de gamme. Sous l'autorité du directeur du restaurant, il coordonne le personnel entre la cuisine et la salle, afin que le service soit irréprochable. C'est un meneur d'hommes, qui dirige une équipe souvent étoffée (maîtres d'hôtel, sommelier, chefs de rang, serveurs). 6, record 1, French, - premier%20ma%C3%AEtre%20d%27h%C3%B4tel
