Team Support — A Core Responsibility Fuse Social operates with a highly team-oriented service model . The Busser/Utility position is expected to assist wherever support is reasonably needed to keep the restaurant operating safely and efficiently. In addition to the responsibilities specifically listed above, Busser/Utility employees may be asked to perform other reasonable duties and tasks related to restaurant operations as required by the team and management , provided the employee is appropriately trained and legally permitted to perform the task. This may include assisting Server/Bartenders, kitchen employees, dishwashers, managers or other team members when additional help is needed. At Fuse Social, the expectation is: If something reasonably needs to be done and you are able to help, help. Team members should not ignore a dirty table, full trash container, empty ice bin, food waiting to be run, low supply, spill or teammate who clearly needs assistance simply because the task is not normally considered "their job." At the same time, employees are expected to follow management direction, applicable safety procedures and training requirements and should not perform tasks for which they have not been properly trained or are not legally permitted to perform. Qualifications Previous restaurant bussing, barback, utility or support experience preferred but not required. Strong work ethic and willingness to perform a variety of restaurant responsibilities. Ability to work quickly while maintaining cleanliness and safety. Strong situational awareness and ability to recognize where help is needed.

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods and perform the lifting, carrying, bending, reaching and repetitive tasks normally associated with restaurant bussing, barback and utility work, with or without reasonable accommodation. The Person Who Will Succeed in This Position The strongest Busser/Utility team members at Fuse Social will be people who notice what needs to be done and take appropriate action . This position is ideal for someone who does not want to stand around waiting for a manager to assign every individual task. During a busy service, priorities can change quickly. You may spend part of the shift resetting tables, then help restock the bar, run food, replenish ice, clear glassware, organize takeout supplies and return to the dining room as volume changes. The goal is not simply to be a good busser or barback. The goal is to be a reliable utility player for the restaurant team who helps keep Fuse Social clean, stocked, organized and operating efficiently. Employees who demonstrate reliability, initiative and an interest in learning additional responsibilities may have opportunities to cross-train as the business develops. Fuse Social is an equal opportunity employer. We consider qualified applicants without regard to any characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local law.
