How to be a good food runner?

Food runners are on the move for their entire shifts, so you need the stamina to be on your feet for long periods of time. Busy hours at a restaurant are fast-paced and demanding, so you must also be able to handle high-pressure situations. Be aware of which tables have plates that should be cleared, and clear them before being asked to help keep operations running smoothly. Smile and have friendly interactions with customers whenever you see them, even if you are not working on their table. Moving quickly and efficiently without dropping dishes is essential to being a good food runner.
