Like its sister chain Old Country buffet, Hometown Buffet is part of the restaurant chains operated by Buffets Inc. The company was founded by Roe Hatlen and Dennis Scott in 1983. The company has filed for bankruptcy in 2008bu has since emerged as a stronger organization having 626 restaurants in 39 states.

The manager of Hometown Buffet should keep an eye on the food that is served on the steam tables. The food should be maintained hot as it is exposed to the environment. This starts from the food coming out of the kitchen which should be monitored and checked. Fresh ingredients should be provided and the manager is responsible for receiving the items.

The manager also addresses any concern brought up by the customers. They need to make sure that only the best possible service is given to the customers. Several complaints may arise and this should be addressed immediately with sincerity and consideration to the company.
