Job Details
Recipe Philly is a first-of-its-kind restaurant: a full-service dining experience built on the principles of Heirloom Hospitality. Every dish on our menu comes from a real family recipe, surfaced through a citywide competition and accompanying TV series. The food here means something. So does the team that serves it.
A busser at Recipe Philly is the first face a guest sees and the last hands on a table before the next party sits down. You keep the room moving without anyone noticing you're doing it.
What you'll do
- Greet every guest with a smile, like they're walking into your own home
- Clear and reset tables fast, so the next party never feels the wait
- Back up servers with pre-bussing, drink refills, and whatever the table needs
- Sweep, vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and empty trash in the common areas
- Keep napkins, silverware, and to-go supplies stocked, and refill stations as needed
- Report any maintenance issues to management before it becomes a bigger problem
What we're looking for
- 2+ years in a high-volume, upscale restaurant preferred
- A team player who doesn't wait to be asked twice
- Strong people skills. You're representing the room, not just clearing it.
- Able to lift and move up to 50 pounds
- Available for 5 shifts a week for lunch and/or dinner service
Compensation
Bussers at Recipe Philly earn hourly pay (based on experience) plus tips, paid weekly.

Contestants will showcase their treasured recipes for a chance to earn a spot on the real menu of our 175-seat restaurant, opening this August at Broad and Arch. In November 2025, we began filming and documenting this journey with a production team in Center City, creating the next great docuseries meets food competition. Network or streaming partner pick-up is currently under negotiation.
