This establishment is dedicated to excellence in food quality, beverage service, and customer satisfaction, making it a popular destination for both locals and visitors seeking a memorable meal and outstanding service.

The role of a Busser/Barback at Duffy's is crucial to maintaining the smooth operation of the dining and bar areas. This position is designed to support the servers and bartenders by ensuring that all necessary tasks related to cleanliness, organization, and supply replenishment are handled efficiently and promptly. The employment type for this role is typically full-time or part-time, depending on the restaurant's needs, and offers a competitive hourly wage, which may include tips and other incentives.

As a Busser/Barback at Duffy's, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks that keep the dining environment clean and hospitable. Key duties include scraping and stacking dirty dishes, carrying dishes to the kitchen for cleaning, wiping tables, seating areas, and replacing tablecloths. Setting tables properly is also a vital part of the role, ensuring that guests find a neat and inviting place to enjoy their meals. Additionally, cleaning spills, broken dishes, and removing trash and empty bottles contribute to a safe and tidy dining space.

Maintaining adequate supplies such as ice, plates, glasses, and sauces throughout your shift is important to support the service team effectively. Locating items requested by guests demonstrates a strong guest service focus, while cleaning counters, furniture, shelves, walls, and equipment keeps the entire service area in top condition. The barback responsibilities include washing glasses and servicing the bar area, stocking refrigerating units with wines and bottled beer, and replenishing beer kegs as needed.

Beyond the dining and bar areas, maintaining bathroom cleanliness and ensuring all side work is completed during your shift adds to the overall guest satisfaction and hygiene standards. Keeping floors clean through sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming, and managing trash disposal, including handling dumpster duties and replacing bin liners, are essential tasks in this role.

Duffy's seeks individuals who approach their work with a positive and professional attitude, fostering constructive relationships with both coworkers and customers. This role is ideal for energetic and detail-oriented individuals who take pride in their contribution to an excellent dining experience.
