Aba is a renowned Mediterranean restaurant with a unique California influence, located on South Congress at Music Lane. The restaurant is part of a prestigious group with locations in Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, and Nashville, TN. Aba showcases a modern approach to Mediterranean cooking under the leadership of Top Chef Alum and Chef Partner CJ Jacobson. The beverage program complements the menu by emphasizing spirits and rare wines from lesser-known Mediterranean regions, offering guests an authentic and refined dining experience.

Bussers at Aba also sometimes support Barista tasks and are expected to work efficiently in a busy, fast-paced environment. The position includes responsibilities such as moving chairs and tables safely, communicating effectively with team members, and multitasking calmly during peak hours. The job demands physical activity, including lifting and standing for the entire shift, and the ability to work in various environmental conditions typical of a restaurant setting.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who thrive in a team-oriented environment and seek a role in the vibrant hospitality industry. Aba and Lettuce Entertain You value diversity, creativity, and passion, ensuring every employee is supported and rewarded. Working as a Busser here not only offers competitive benefits like health insurance and paid vacation but also provides a meaningful start or advancement in a hospitality career.
