About The Position

Equipped with a spray bottle, sturdy tray and clean cloth towel, a First Watch Busser uses magician-like moves to clean re-set tables within 3 minutes. 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
