The Manager Desk fulfills three primary purposes: customer list, customer reaction, and your gameplay stats. In the Customers tab, you will find a list of visitors currently in the restaurant, allowing you to gauge their social status at a glance. You can gauge how much money they are willing to spend at your establishment with this information.

Use the Thoughts tab to gauge customer reaction, where you can see all recent visitors and how they felt of your diner’s service. This tab can provide you with valuable data to improve your service. Use their feedback to your advantage and aim to work out the kinks in your establishment’s service.

Lastly, the Stats tab includes an overview of your time in the game, such as Restaurant Value, Dishes Unlocked, Total Customers, Hours Played, etc. While it doesn’t have any direct gameplay benefit, this tab is a good way to track your progress as a restaurateur.
