What are the responsibilities and job description for the Back Waiter/Food Runner position at Salt and Vine?
FOOD RUNNER- JOB DESCRIPTION AND EXPECTATIONS
- As a backwait at Salt and Vine your main job is to walk food from the kitchen to the appropriate table as quickly as possible
- You are responsible for getting the line set up for service and making sure it is clean at ALL TIMES ie. Towels always folded, no spills, the floor is swept, the expo fridge, butters, ketchup, and bread stocked throughout the shift
- Knowledge of table numbers and seat numbers is extremely important for you to do your job- we NEVER want to auction off food or look lost
- Know the menu. You should be able to recognize food as it comes out of the window. You are the last line of defense. If a dish is not finished (does not have appropriate garnish etc..) then you do NOT take it
- Be conscious of the tickets coming back to the kitchen. Read the ticket to yourself before communicating with the chefs
- If a ticket is taking longer than 20 minutes let management know
- When you drop food to a table look around and make sure they have everything they need. Do they have water? Do they have the appropriate silverware? If not, you are responsible for either letting their server know or helping them yourself get whatever item may be missing
- When you are not running food or communicating with the kitchen you are in the dining room helping the servers to bus and reset tables, keeping water glasses filled, and polishing glassware and silverware
- At the end of the evening you break down your station (flip the sauces, if you are low on anything write it down and give to chefs, wipe down all fridges, sweep thoroughly, wipe and scrub down the line, clean out and turn off the bread warmer)
- If the dishwasher is falling behind we expect you to jump and help - teamwork!
