Front of House is a term that is also being adopted by the Foodservice industry. FOH is used to describe the area of a restaurant that is visible to the general public. (Back of House) would refer to the kitchen.
Hi, I don't know how to do disambiguation, but shouldn't this page be that?
I have been reading a bunch of articles on Christian Music and apparently Front of the House means something in the operations of a church. Also, in reference to the first comment above, Front of House is used across the Hospitality Industry, not just in Foodservice. The term has been used to describe the front desk and lobby area in a hotel (and jobs that are done in those areas) since at least the mid-1970's. Back of the house would refer to the laundry, the restaurant kitchen, the boiler room, etc. Gtwfan52 ( talk) 04:58, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
As I first encountered it, this article was narrowly focused on theatrical arts, and completely unreferenced. I have somewhat expanded its focus to include the commonly-seen usages in the restaurant, hospitality, and retailing industries, and added several references. I also added better coverage of the term term "back of house". There is plenty of room for improvement in this article, such as the origins and history of the term.
Also, there are Wikipedia articles on Front office and Back office. All of these articles need to be cross-referenced and cleaned up for consistency and to remove overlaps. Perhaps there should be just a single article to cover the overall concept, with redirects pointing to it.
Once it becomes clear how the articles should be organized, I can take care of any renaming, disambiguation, or redirects of article titles. The real work is in conceptually structuring the articles and reorganizing their content. Can anyone help with this? Reify-tech ( talk) 20:26, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
