Job Description

Cracker Barrel is a well-established restaurant and retail chain that has been delighting guests since 1969. Known for its warm hospitality, delicious food, and a unique country store experience, Cracker Barrel offers a welcoming atmosphere where guests can gather, reconnect, and feel at home. With a workforce of more than 70,000 team members nationwide, Cracker Barrel thrives on a culture of togetherness, pride in heritage, and commitment to exceptional service. As a company, it is deeply rooted in creating memorable experiences that extend beyond just serving a meal, emphasizing community, tradition, and care for their employees.

The role of a Busser at Cracker Barrel is vital in maintaining the high standards of hospitality that guests expect. This position ensures that each dining experience begins with a clean, comfortable, and inviting table, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. More than just clearing tables, Bussers play an essential part in resetting the environment for new guests and supporting the dining room team to keep service running smoothly. This role requires an individual who has a keen eye for detail, a strong team-first mindset, and the ability to stay organized and purposeful throughout their shift. Whether you are spotting what needs to be done, helping to improve the guest experience, or moving efficiently to assist fellow team members, a Busser contributes significantly to Cracker Barrel’s reputation for outstanding hospitality.

No previous restaurant experience is required for this position because Cracker Barrel provides industry-leading training through their PAR (Purpose, Awareness, Respect) program starting from day one. This makes it an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking entry into the restaurant industry or those who enjoy a fast-paced, collaborative work environment. The role offers competitive pay, ranging from $17.40 to $18.00 per hour, with additional benefits designed to support both full and part-time employees from the outset. Benefits include health insurance eligibility on day one, vacation time, an employee assistance program, growth and development opportunities, 401k plan with matching contributions after 90 days, and an employee stock purchase program.

Cracker Barrel also emphasizes a culture where employees feel valued and included, reflected in its onboarding processes, training, recognition programs, and social events. Employees receive special discounts on food and retail items, along with exclusive perks on home, travel, and cell phone services. This comprehensive approach ensures that team members not only contribute to but also share in the success and enjoyment of working at Cracker Barrel. If you have a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to teamwork, this role invites you to be part of a company where "we're all in good company."
