Introduction
The Bus Boy does many tasks at a restaurant; one of the task assign to them is cleaning dirty
dishes off the table. Clearing/cleaning tables that have been used in the restaurant is the primary
responsibility of the bus boy. The speed at which this job is performed is crucial, because the sooner the
bus boy clears and cleans off the table, the sooner the restaurant will be able to seat another set of
diners. Besides removing soiled dishes and silverware form the tables, bus boys are expected to wipe
down the tables to remove any food remnants from the previous guests. And they are generally called
upon to clean up whenever a dinner or a waiter spills food or dishware or silverware onto the floor.
1. To maintain the cleanliness of the table, soiled dishes should be immediately removed.
2. When everyone at the table has finished eating the dish served, removed all the soiled dishes, flat
wares and condiments except the water glass and the coffee cups which should be refilled and to
be removed only when the guests have left the table. Water glasses are to refill when empty or
almost empty.
3. Brush the tables with a clean, moist side towel whenever necessary.
4. Take care not to spill the crumbs on the lap of the customer. Use small plate to catch the crumbs.
5. When removing used dishes, make an excuse and ask permission from the guest. Say “Excuse me
sir, may I take your plate now?” or “May I clear the table now?”
6. As a general rule, bus soiled dishes from the right side of the guest. When bussing, follow the
standard procedure- the 3 S’s- SCRAPE, STACK & SEGREGATE.
- Remove largest plates first, followed by smaller ones so that they can be easily stacked. Place
large ones at the center of the tray.
- Do not stack dishes too high. This can cause accident and create clatter.
- Avoid overloading trays and bus pans.
- Never bus across the guest. Stay on the right side of the guest unless it is difficult to do so that
one cannot help crossing. In such case, make an excuse and say; “Excuse me sir/ma’am”.
- Never scrape leftovers in front or near the guest. Do it few steps away from the guest.
- Use appropriate trays for bussing-bar tray for bar items glasses and bottles), rectangular or oval
tray for china wares.
- Bus bottles and glasses separately from china wares.
1. Pick up the first soiled plate, holding the flatware with your hand.
2. Pick up the next soiled and position it halfway under the first plate.
3. Place the third plate on top of the two plates, scrape and separate the leftovers on the second
plate and segregate the cutleries on the other plate
4. Stack and segregate china wares together on the third plate.
