Operating with a unique "Follow the Sun" culinary philosophy, First Watch embraces a chef-driven menu that evolves seasonally to showcase peak-quality flavors. Popular items like the Kale Tonic fresh juice, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Power Bowl, and the signature Million Dollar Bacon have won the hearts of many loyal customers. Beyond culinary excellence, First Watch demonstrates a strong commitment to community welfare, donating portions of proceeds from every kid's meal to impactful organizations nationwide, cumulatively contributing around $2 million to date.

This vibrant restaurant chain has received numerous accolades including "Best Breakfast" and "Best Brunch" honors and was recognized as the #1 Best Breakfast by Newsweek's Readers' Choice Awards 2025.

With over 630 locations across 32 states, First Watch is redefining the Daytime Dining experience with a focus on exceptional food, welcoming atmosphere, and community involvement.

At First Watch, employees are cherished through the YOU FIRST philosophy which prioritizes their well-being and empowerment. The company proudly offers no night shifts, a fully chef-curated menu, and the freedom for team members to make decisions enhancing the guests' breakfast, brunch, or lunch experience. This forward-thinking culture truly appreciates staff, often joking that they love their employees more than bacon, underscoring the importance placed on a positive, supportive work environment.

The available position is for a Busser, a vital role within the team responsible for maintaining an inviting and efficient dining setting. As a Busser, you will utilize your skills and vigor to swiftly clear, clean, and reset tables, ensuring each area is ready to welcome new guests within a quick turnaround time of 3 minutes. Serving as silent communicators, Bussers collaborate closely with Hosts and Servers, signaling when tables are prepared to seat guests, facilitating smooth service flow. Duties also extend to light housekeeping responsibilities including rolling silverware and maintaining restroom cleanliness, contributing to the overall restaurant ambiance and hygiene.

Ideal candidates for this role are effective communicators who value teamwork, possess attention to detail, and have a drive to maintain high cleanliness standards. This role requires individuals who can work efficiently under a dynamic restaurant environment, providing excellent support to the front-of-house operations. First Watch offers a competitive full-time employment package with a generous range of benefits, valuing each team member's contribution. If you are at least 18 years old and possess a positive attitude toward collaborative service and cleanliness, this opportunity invites you to join a nationally acclaimed dining leader dedicated to enriching the customer experience and building a fulfilling career.

Join First Watch and be part of a company that not only serves exceptional breakfast and lunch but also fosters a caring and inclusive culture where your contributions truly matter. Experience the joy of working with people who prioritize your happiness and professional growth as much as the happiness of their customers.
