·         Follow all safety and sanitation procedures, including proper handling of glass, plates, and cleaning chemicals.
·         Work as part of a coordinated FOH team, communicating clearly and professionally with servers, hosts, runners, and managers.
·         Uphold Aiona’s standards of hospitality, appearance, and professionalism at all times
 
Qualifications
·         1+ year of experience as a busser, food runner, or support role in a full-service restaurant; upscale or casual fine dining experience preferred.
·         Strong work ethic with the ability to move quickly while maintaining a high level of cleanliness and detail.
·         Comfortable being on your feet for extended periods and carrying bus tubs, trays, and glassware safely.
·         Ability to stay calm, organized, and focused during busy PM service and high-volume nights.
·         Team-oriented mindset with clear, respectful communication skills.
·         Reliable and punctual, with the ability to work lunch, evenings, weekends, holidays, and major event nights.
·         Willingness to take directions, learn Aiona’s service standards, and jump in wherever needed to support the team.
