"Front-end development (adjective form with a dash) is when you working on the front end (noun form with no dash). The same goes with the back end, full stack, and many other compound terms."

Like John said with his restaurant example, it is a part of a business that the client don't really need to know how it works. Lawyers for example, can be a front end for all the back end that includes handling documentation, going to the court, requesting everything. Lawyers represent you in things you don't really need to know deeply how it works.
