The '''butler''' is a senior [[Servant (domestic)|servant]] in a well-to-do [[household]]. The position has existed for centuries but in modern usage the butler is in charge of food service, is the custodian of wine, spirits, and [[silver (household)|silver]], supervises other servants, and sometimes performs other duties. The butler is usually the most senior staff member, although this too has evolved over time. Today, especially in the grandest homes or when the employer owns more than one residence, there is sometimes an Estate Manager of higher rank than the butler. | The '''butler''' is a senior [[Servant (domestic)|servant]] in a well-to-do [[household]].
