English term or phrase: front-end duty
Manager Availability
Is the manager on front-end duty available and visible?


Not sure what other context to give. I understand that front-end refers to the managers dealing with the customers (not sitting in the back office) but do not know how to translate the term "on front-end duty"correctly.

Your suggestions would be very welcome.

Littéralement, on a quelque chose comme "Le gérant en devoir au service à la clientèle est-il disponible et visible?", ce que je rendrais par "Le [gérant de service] [gérant du service à la clientèle] est-il visible et accessible?"

gérant de magasin


Explanation:

(in French)

gérant de magasin

https://www.cnfdi.com/fiche-metier/devenir-gerant-de-magasin...

Étant premier responsable du magasin, le gérant décide des marchandises à proposer à la vente et de leur prix. Dans son métier, le gérant de magasin choisit également le placement des produits de façon à favoriser les ventes (vitrine, tête de gondole, etc.). Il mène des inventaires pour vérifier l’état des stocks, recrute du personnel si besoin, et décide des promotions. Il veille aussi en permanence aux indicateurs commerciaux pour connaitre l’évolution des ventes et tient généralement la compatibilité.
Il est le responsable de l’équipe de vendeurs qu’il forme aux différentes techniques commerciales. En cas de souci avec les clients, ce sera à lui de régler les éventuels litiges.

agree  GILOU
4 hrs
  -> Merci Gilou !

disagree  Daryo: yes, and also unfortunately NO: "front end duty" is what this character is supposed to be doing, what he/she is charge of, NOT what is his/her job title. // also, it doesn't say nowhere "the manager of the whole store".
13 hrs
  -> 1. I meant to translate the full expression "manager on front-end duty". 2. Another alternative may have been "chef de rayon", but the original only refers to ONE manager. 3. If "yes and no" at the same time, why "disagree" instead of "neutral"?

neutral  HERBET Abel: ????
19 hrs
  -> ?

neutral  Germaine: Ici, on parle plutôt du gérant de service (du service à la clientèle). Celui que le personnel cherche des yeux dès qu'il y a une question/un problème client.

accueil/réception


Explanation:
La traduction à adopter dépend un peu du contexte, mais s'il s'agit d'un hôtel par exemple il s'agit de la réception.

disponible pour une mission d'ouverture / mission de tâches fondamentales


Explanation:
Frequently, web development roles are specialized and fall into one of two categories: front end or back end. A front-end web developer focuses on aspects that are visible to the website visitor, such as design, multimedia, and interactivity, creating webpages that combine text, images, and links.

agree  Nathalie Stewart: Exactly. Same tasks as "gérant de magasin".
6 hrs
  -> not quite - there is(are) other manager(/s) - dealing with ordering supplies, receiving deliveries, managing the stocks at the "back end" etc... this one is only in charge of managing the area open to customers.
agree  AllegroTrans: Yes, and he/she doesn't "stand at the front" all of the time!

  -> Exactly - this is one of these terms you can't guess from everyday language / "common sense"
