Job Description

Cracker Barrel is a well-established restaurant chain founded in 1969, known for its unique blend of Southern country theme, comfort food, and country store shopping experience. It has grown to be more than just a dining destination – it is a place where guests come to reconnect, enjoy warm hospitality, and feel at home. With a workforce of over 70,000 team members nationwide, Cracker Barrel takes pride in its roots and strong commitment to delivering more than just a meal. The company emphasizes a culture of belonging, team collaboration, and growth opportunities, aiming to create a work environment that is rewarding and supportive for all employees. Cracker Barrel champions inclusion and equal opportunity, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds without discrimination.

The role of Busser at Cracker Barrel is pivotal in setting the stage for an exceptional dining experience. This position involves more than just clearing and resetting tables; it is about actively participating in creating memorable moments for guests through attentive hospitality. Bussers work closely with the dining room team to maintain a clean, comfortable, and inviting environment where guests feel welcomed from the moment they enter until their meal concludes. It is a dynamic role that requires the ability to stay organized, anticipate needs, and contribute a team-first approach.

This role is well-suited for individuals who take pride in making things better for others, enjoy working in a fast-paced setting, and are eager to learn. No prior restaurant experience is necessary, as Cracker Barrel offers industry-leading training programs starting from day one. The position offers competitive pay ranging from $16.00 to $17.25 per hour, with same-day pay access for convenience. Full and part-time employees become eligible for health insurance from their first day, along with vacation time and an employee assistance program to support mental and emotional well-being.

Employees also benefit from opportunities for personal and professional growth, including participation in the comprehensive PAR training program, access to 401(k) plans with company matching after 90 days, and an Employee Stock Purchase Program. Beyond traditional benefits, Cracker Barrel fosters a sense of community through recognition programs, employee events, and unique perks like a 35% discount on food and retail products, as well as exclusive offers on home, travel, and more. This position encourages individuals who are proactive, organized, and team-oriented to join and contribute to the company's mission of delivering memorable hospitality experiences.
