About The Group
The Group is a multi-concept hospitality company behind some of New York's most beloved French brasseries and dining destinations, including La Grande Boucherie, Boucherie, and Olio e Più. We're opening Olio e Più Nomad, and we're looking for Food Runners to join our founding front-of-house team.
About the Role
As a Food Runner, you're a key part of the guest experience — moving food from the kitchen to the table with speed and care, keeping the dining room polished, and making sure every guest feels looked after from the moment they arrive.
What You'll Do
- Run food from the kitchen to guests promptly, describing each dish as it's delivered
- Verify order accuracy and quality-check each plate before it reaches the table
- Anticipate guest needs and refill non-alcoholic beverages and water throughout service
- Clear and reset tables — removing used tableware and wiping down surfaces as needed
- Complete opening and closing side work each shift
- Keep your work area and stations clean, stocked, and organized to Department of Health standards
- Report any DOH or OSHA/safety concerns to the Manager on Duty right away
- Present yourself in full uniform with polished, professional grooming
- Participate in staff training and stay knowledgeable about the restaurant, menu, and team
What We're Looking For
- 1+ year of experience as a Busser or Runner at a similar-caliber concept
- Fluent in written and spoken English, with clear, effective communication
- A friendly, helpful, positive attitude — and grace under pressure during busy service
- Able to lift 30+ pounds and to walk, stand, and bend continuously for extended periods
- Availability for nights, weekends, holidays, and a variable schedule based on business needs
- High school diploma or GED preferred
- TIPS Certification preferred
Compensation
For tipped employees, base wage will be $11.35 with a $5.65 tip credit applied, if wages earned do not reach minimum wage.
Why Join Us
Be part of the founding team of an exciting new opening, backed by an established and growing hospitality company. We offer a dynamic, fast-paced environment with real opportunities to grow across our expanding portfolio of concepts.
The Group is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.
