Job Description

Chef David LeFevre is a renowned culinary figure who has established a distinctive presence in Manhattan Beach through his eclectic and chef-driven restaurants. His establishments are celebrated for their soulful food, engaging service, hand-crafted cocktails, and carefully curated boutique wine selections. These dining venues include Manhattan Beach Post, which opened in April 2011, Fishing With Dynamite, launched in April 2013, and The Arthur J, which began operations in June 2015. Each restaurant reflects Chef LeFevre's commitment to quality, creativity, and memorable dining experiences. Fishing With Dynamite, specifically, is an upscale casual restaurant known for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional dishes that combine local ingredients with innovative culinary techniques. The company prides itself on delivering hospitality that feels personal and attentive while maintaining a high level of professionalism and service.

The role of Busser/Runner at Fishing With Dynamite is a key part of ensuring smooth operations and exceptional guest experiences. We are seeking skilled, passionate, and motivated individuals who bring at least one year of bussing and running experience in a high-volume, upscale casual dining environment. The ideal candidate will not only perform their duties with efficiency and attention to detail but will also engage comfortably with guests, creating a welcoming and informative atmosphere. This position demands individuals who possess humility, respect, and integrity, qualities that resonate with the restaurant's culture. Bussers and runners here are expected to be more than just behind-the-scenes staff; they should be knowledgeable about the intricacies of the menu and confident in discussing these details with guests to enhance their dining experience. Flexibility in scheduling is important, as the role requires availability during both lunch and dinner hours. Above all, we value team members who are passionate about hospitality, relationship-building, and continuous learning. If you are someone who thrives on learning something new about the menu with every shift and is motivated to continually improve, then this role is an excellent fit. For those interested in learning more about the company and its dining philosophy, additional insights can be found on our Facebook pages, Google reviews, and notable press coverage such as the LA Times reviews for Fishing With Dynamite and Manhattan Beach Post, as well as LA Weekly's review of The Arthur J.
