The team is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of hospitality and service, creating memorable experiences through meticulous attention to detail and personalized care.

The role we are seeking to fill is that of a Bus Person, also known as a Busser, Runner, Waiter’s Assistant, Banquet Bus Person, or Food Runner. Reporting directly to the Dining Room Manager, Assistant Manager, Event Director, or General Manager, the Bus Person plays a vital supporting role in the dining room environment. This is a key position within the front-of-house team, ensuring that dining tables are properly set and cleared promptly and assisting servers to facilitate smooth and efficient meal service.

This position requires a high school diploma or GED and a minimum of one year’s experience in a fine dining setting, ensuring familiarity with the nuances of upscale service expectations. The Bus Person will be responsible for a variety of tasks including setting and cleaning tables before, during, and after service, assisting servers with miscellaneous duties such as serving water and carrying trays, managing linens, and maintaining cleanliness and organization in the dining area. The role also demands knowledge of the menu and daily specials to assist in communicating with guests when necessary, as well as the ability to execute duties effectively under emergency situations.

Physical endurance and the ability to maintain a fast-paced workload are essential, as the job requires standing for long periods, walking, climbing stairs, bending, lifting up to 50 pounds, and performing continuous repetitive motions in a hot, humid, and sometimes noisy environment. The ideal candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to upholding the club’s policies and standards, especially relating to service protocols and alcohol service.

The successful Bus Person will contribute significantly to the overall dining experience by ensuring tables are always ready, the dining environment is clean and welcoming, and servers are supported. Additional responsibilities may include assisting with banquet and buffet setups, polishing silverware, handling take-out orders, and participating in pre-service training meetings.
