This San Francisco-born culture continues to thrive, encouraging employees to express their unique talents, personalities, and creativity. At Kimpton, people are empowered to be their authentic selves, fostering an exciting, dynamic, and inclusive work culture that is both exceptional and welcoming. The company’s mission goes beyond hospitality; it’s about improving lives — of coworkers, guests, owners, and communities — every day through meaningful engagement and service.
The role of a Busser at Kimpton is integral to maintaining the exceptional dining experience the company is known for. This position is responsible for ensuring the dining area is clean and orderly while assisting with a variety of tasks that contribute to the overall guest satisfaction.

The company values diversity, inclusivity, and the celebration of individual differences in backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. This commitment informs a supportive work environment that prioritizes employee well-being, personal growth, and the shared goal of elevating the standard of boutique hospitality through innovative and heartfelt service.
