Front of House vs Back of House.
It’s a battle that’s been going on in restaurants forever.

In this episode of 8ighty 6ix, we break down the ongoing FOH vs BOH divide—where it started, why it still exists, and how miscommunication, pressure, and misunderstanding keep the cycle alive.

From tipped vs hourly pay to guest-facing stress vs kitchen chaos, this conversation looks at both sides of the line and how each role carries weight the other doesn’t always see. More importantly, we talk about what actually happens when FOH and BOH stop competing and start working together.

If you’ve ever felt unappreciated on either side of the house, this episode will hit home.

🎧 In This Episode:

• Why FOH and BOH clash

• The biggest misunderstandings on both sides

• Pay structure and pressure points

• What changes when the house operates as one team
