Host/Busser

Our YOU FIRST Philosophy

In addition to no night shifts, ever and our fully chef-curated menu, our #1 priority has always been our people. We care about our customers, and we care about you! That’s where our YOU FIRST culture begins – each day, we put our employees first and strive to make them happy. They are empowered with an independence to make decisions that will help provide an exceptional breakfast, brunch, or lunch experience for their customers. In fact, we like to say, we love our employees more than bacon. And that says a lot.

About The Position

As a Host, you play a vital role in making days brighter for our customers. You will guide the dining room experience by welcoming all and ensuring the customer experience starts and ends on a high note. You are the friendly face at the door that greets our customers, manages the waitlist, and coordinates with the restaurant team to ensure smooth operations and customer satisfaction.

Due to the nature of our industry and the demands of the role, this position requires weekend availability and some holidays.

Equipped with a spray bottle, sturdy tray and clean cloth towel, a First Watch Busser uses magician-like moves to clean re-set tables within 3 minutes. They are often our silent communicators – making contact with a nearby Host to signal “table readiness.” Does this sound like you? Our Bussers (just to name a few):

• Communicate well with others and believe in the importance of teamwork
• Clear, clean, sanitize & reset tables in under 3 minutes
• Update and communicate to Hosts & Servers when tables are available for seating
• Perform other duties such as light housekeeping, rolling silverware, restroom cleanliness, etc.
