How it's used

Refers specifically to the person in charge of a retail store or restaurant branch. While it sounds professional, it is frequently used in casual settings when a customer needs to escalate an issue or request assistance from someone with authority. It is rarely used to refer to a small, family-run stall owner, who would more commonly be called 老闆.

Common mistake

Avoid using it for the owner of a business unless they are also actively managing the store floor. If you are unsure of their specific role, using 老闆 is a safer and more common way to address someone running a shop.
