Job Description

First Watch is a premier daytime dining restaurant renowned for its made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch offerings crafted from the freshest ingredients. Established with a passion for quality and innovation, First Watch continuously evolves its chef-driven menu multiple times a year to incorporate seasonal flavors alongside fan-favorite dishes such as Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Power Bowl, and the signature Million Dollar Bacon. This commitment to fresh, flavorful, and wholesome food has earned First Watch a loyal customer base and numerous industry awards. Beyond great food, First Watch is dedicated to giving back to the community by donating a portion of every kid's meal sold, having raised approximately $2.0 million to date for positive causes in various communities.

The role of Dining Room Busser at First Watch is crucial to maintaining the establishment's reputation for excellent customer service and a seamless dining experience. Bussers are integral team players responsible for keeping the dining room clean, organized, and welcoming at all times. Armed with tools such as spray bottles, sturdy trays, and clean cloths, this dynamic position requires bussers to efficiently clear, sanitize, and reset tables within an impressive time frame of just three minutes, ensuring a steady flow of guests without sacrificing cleanliness or service quality. Coordination and communication skills are essential as bussers work closely with Hosts to signal when tables are ready for new patrons, thereby supporting efficient seating and minimizing wait times.

In addition to their primary duties with table maintenance, bussers contribute to other aspects of dining room upkeep by performing light housekeeping tasks, rolling silverware for service readiness, and maintaining restroom cleanliness. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments and who take pride in creating a pleasant and comfortable setting for guests. Importantly, candidates must be at least 18 years old to apply, ensuring a mature and responsible approach to the position.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to join a well-respected and community-conscious restaurant that values teamwork, quality, and guest satisfaction. Working as a Dining Room Busser at First Watch not only provides experience in the hospitality industry but also a supportive environment where employees contribute meaningfully to both the customer experience and community impact.
