Front of House — the guest-facing areas of a venue and the staff who work in them.
Front of House encompasses everything the guest experiences: the foyer, main event space, bars, dining areas, and guest bathrooms. FOH staff include ushers, greeters, bar staff, and waitstaff. In audio/visual contexts, FOH also refers to the front-of-house mixing position — where the sound engineer sits to mix audio for the audience.
