Restaurant Manager
Could well be the Maître d', but it's a little hard to tell without seeing the exact hierarchy / structure used in this particular establishment. But 'Directeur' sounds a bit higher up than that to me, I suspect he might be another rung higher up the ladder...

Le directeur de salle et le Chef de cuisine travaillent dans l’objectif de vous faire oublier que vous êtes dans la New Forest!
The restaurant manager and the chef, work closely to ensure that from the moment you walk through the door until the moment you receive “l'addition”, you will find it hard to believe you are still in the New Forest!

manager or director of the dining room
This is not the maître d'hôtel, who takes care of the cient, but the director who looks for the table division, jobs per waiter(s), the way the waiters work and collaborate in teams, etc

: That was sort of my feeling too, but this wouldn't be a natural way to express it in EN, I'm afraid.
