Food Runner / Busser
A good runner is the reason a busy room feels effortless.
A good runner is the reason a busy room feels effortless. Food lands hot. Drinks arrive before anyone has to ask. Tables get cleared without a guest noticing it happened. The server looks like they’re everywhere at once — because they have someone behind them making that possible.
It’s a fast, physical, team-first role. No experience necessary. What matters is that you move with purpose, pay attention, and take genuine pride in a room that runs right.
The RoleWhat the Work Looks Like
You’ll work the floor alongside servers and bartenders, keeping food and drinks moving and the dining room clear. On a busy night you’ll cover a lot of ground — from the kitchen pass to the patio and back again.
- Run food from the kitchen to the correct table, accurately and promptly
- Deliver drinks to guests when the floor gets busy
- Bus and reset tables efficiently so the next guest sits down to a clean one
- Assist servers and bartenders with whatever the moment calls for
- Keep an eye on the floor — a water that needs refilling, a plate ready to be cleared
- Communicate clearly with the kitchen, bar, and floor team throughout service
- Help with opening and closing side work as part of the team

A Note on Culture
At Maisie’s, the runner isn’t the bottom of the floor team — they’re the engine of it. You’ll be treated as part of the crew from day one, because that’s what you are.
This is also a strong place to start if you’re interested in building a career in restaurants. Learn the floor from the ground up, get to know the menu, earn the trust of the team. We promote from within when the right person is ready.
