Busser

A busser is a slang term commonly used in the restaurant industry to refer to a person responsible for clearing tables and assisting the waitstaff.

In restaurants, a busser plays a pivotal role in ensuring tables are promptly cleared and reset for incoming customers. They also assist the waitstaff by filling water glasses, bringing extra utensils, and helping with any other tasks that contribute to the smooth operation of the dining experience.

Example 1: “Can you please let the busser know that Table 5 needs to be cleared and reset?”

Example 2: “The busser did a great job tonight, keeping our section clean and providing us with everything we needed.”
