The role of a Food Runner at Dave & Buster's is an integral part of ensuring a seamless dining experience for guests. This position involves assisting bartenders and servers by delivering food from the kitchen directly to the guests, maintaining a smooth flow of service, and providing extra support during busy periods.

The position is physically demanding, requiring the ability to stand for long periods, move around the facility extensively, lift and carry up to 30 pounds, and maintain an active presence throughout the entire shift.

Dave & Buster's is committed to equal opportunity employment and maintains policies that comply with all federal, state, and local laws on nondiscrimination. The salary range for this role is competitively set between $10.7 and $16 per hour, reflecting the company’s dedication to rewarding team members fairly.
