Job Description

First Watch is the leading Daytime Dining restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch, proudly serving fresh, chef-curated menus crafted with the highest quality ingredients. With over 630 restaurants across 32 states, First Watch is widely recognized for its commitment to quality, hospitality, and community involvement. The brand’s "Follow the Sun" culinary philosophy ensures that the menu consistently features peak-season flavors and innovative dishes, including signature items like the Million Dollar Bacon, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, and Quinoa Power Bowls. The company has earned multiple accolades, such as #1 Best Breakfast from Newsweek's Readers' Choice Awards 2025 and being named the Most Loved Workplace in America by the Best Practice Institute for four consecutive years. First Watch not only prioritizes customer satisfaction but also invests deeply in its employees through a culture called YOU FIRST, which emphasizes employee happiness, empowerment, and work-life balance with no ever night shifts and an environment that encourages decision-making at the staff level for the best customer experience.

The Busser position at First Watch is instrumental in maintaining the flow and cleanliness integral to providing an exceptional dining experience. This role requires a highly efficient, detail-oriented individual who can clear, sanitize, and reset tables rapidly—within three minutes—while working seamlessly with hosts and servers to signal table availability. Bussers are often silent communicators on the floor, critical to ensuring the dining area remains inviting, clean, and well-prepared. In addition to table management, the position involves light housekeeping duties such as restroom cleanliness, rolling silverware, and other tasks that contribute to the operational excellence of the restaurant. First Watch Bussers are team players who communicate effectively and uphold the restaurant’s high standards for hygiene and customer service. The company provides excellent employee benefits including health insurance, dental and vision coverage, telemedicine access, a 401(k) savings program, meal discounts, tuition reimbursement, and much more. These benefits foster a supportive workplace where employees can thrive professionally and personally. The role requires the candidate to be at least 18 years of age. This is an ideal opportunity for individuals passionate about contributing to a positive dining environment while being part of a celebrated and innovative restaurant brand dedicated to community and employee welfare.
