Restaurant Busser

Full-time, Part-time

Hooligan Chicago

About Us

We are opening an ambitious new neighborhood restaurant in Logan Square built around thoughtful food, genuine hospitality, and a collaborative team culture.

Our philosophy is simple: exceptional hospitality should feel effortless. We believe in knowledgeable service without pretension, attention to detail without rigidity, and creating memorable experiences for every guest.

We're looking for professionals who take pride in their craft, enjoy working hard, and want to help build something from day one.

Position Summary

As a Busser, you play an essential role in creating an exceptional guest experience. Your attention to detail, sense of urgency, and teamwork ensure that every table is welcoming, every dining space is immaculate, and every service runs seamlessly.

This is a highly collaborative environment where everyone contributes to the guest experience. Bussers support servers, bartenders, hosts, and the kitchen, helping maintain the pace and flow of service while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every guest.

Responsibilities
  • Set and reset tables to company standards with precision and attention to detail.
  • Clear, clean, and sanitize tables quickly and efficiently throughout service.
  • Maintain the cleanliness and organization of the dining room, service stations, and guest areas.
  • Refill water, assist with beverage service, and anticipate guest needs whenever appropriate.
  • Support food running and assist with delivering dishes as directed.
  • Polish glassware, flatware, and service ware.
  • Restock service stations throughout the shift.
  • Assist with opening, closing, and side work assignments.
  • Maintain clean restrooms and public spaces throughout service.
  • Communicate effectively with the front- and back-of-house teams to ensure seamless service.
  • Help create an environment where every guest feels welcomed and cared for.
Qualifications
  • Previous restaurant experience is preferred but not required.
  • Positive attitude and strong work ethic.
  • Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to help wherever needed.
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and organization.
  • Professional appearance and demeanor.
  • Reliable, punctual, and dependable.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds.
What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly compensation plus participation in a service charge program.
  • Comprehensive training before opening.
  • Opportunities to learn all aspects of restaurant operations.
  • A supportive, team-first culture built on respect and professionalism.
  • Opportunities for growth and advancement within a growing hospitality company.
Who You Are

You take pride in doing the little things exceptionally well. You understand that a clean table, a polished glass, and a well-maintained dining room are just as important to the guest experience as the food itself.

You're dependable, energetic, humble, and enjoy working as part of a team. You don't wait to be asked, you look for ways to help, support your teammates, and contribute to the success of every service.

If you're looking to join an opening team where hard work, collaboration, and genuine hospitality are valued, we'd love to meet you.
