This position offers compensation at a rate of $18.04 per hour plus tips, recognizing the value that busser/barbacks bring to the daily operations. Beyond the hourly pay, Yard House offers a variety of benefits designed to support both the professional growth and well-being of its team members. These include competitive pay, flexible work schedules to accommodate different lifestyles, sick pay, opportunities for career advancement, and health and well-being benefits. The company takes pride in providing a workplace that supports employees not only in their current roles but also as they envision future growth paths within the company. This comprehensive approach underscores Yard House’s dedication to fostering a motivated and happy workforce.

Overall, joining Yard House as a Busser/Barback is not just about filling a role but about becoming part of a dynamic team that values energy, collaboration, and diversity. It’s an opportunity to contribute to an exciting dining experience at a respected and rapidly growing restaurant brand while enjoying a supportive work environment and meaningful benefits.
