That’s where our YOU FIRST culture begins – each day, we put our employees first and strive to make them happy. They are empowered with an independence to make decisions that will help provide an exceptional breakfast, brunch, or lunch experience for their customers.

About The Position

They are often our silent communicators – making contact with a nearby Host to signal “table readiness.” Does this sound like you? Our Bussers (just to name a few):

  • Communicate well with others and believe in the importance of teamwork
  • Clear, clean, sanitize & reset tables in under 3 minutes
  • Update and communicate to Hosts & Servers when tables are available for seating
  • Perform other duties such as light housekeeping, rolling silverware, restroom cleanliness, etc.
  • Must be at least 18 years of age
