Morgan Calcote has seen the confusion in some FIG customers’ eyes when they scan the dining room for a manager to help them select a Grenache or explain the fish stew: “People are like, ‘This person who’s not zooming around in a power suit, is this the person in charge?’ ” she says. Even after Calcote approaches the table, a few of the more old-fashioned diners require reassurance. “Are you a hostess?” they’ll ask warily.
While studying business at the College of Charleston, Calcote was a hostess at Oak Steakhouse. But she worked her way up through the restaurant industry, last summer earning a promotion to general manager, the top restaurant job outside of the kitchen. FIG is now one of about six upscale restaurants in the Charleston area to employ a female general manager. At least half of the women were promoted within the past year, suggesting that front-of-the-house hiring is entering a new era.
