Expiditer/Food Runner

[@FiNe_SiTe]

Good info. I've been a server for decades but I started at a new restaurant & I expo tonight. Work life is so much easier with a competent food runner.

[@lesterauguste]

I really love this video and the way everything was explained properly... I wish you made more videos like this...

[@QuikVidGuy]

our kitchen is always so confusing because we have 3 waiters and no runner

[@joes0406]

I was offered a potential job doing this, but I don't think I know enough

[@jenniferharris2822]

Great video . Personally I like seat numbers on the ticket it saves time when you’re very busy

[@taylegacypeace-LADYSOUL]

How much do you make an hour?

[@vklkg5486]

Just had my first day as a runner and man idk. I did extremely well but maybe it’s the restaurant and because I wasn’t getting actual training more like thrown into the water kinda. My restaurant/bar has 1000+ seats with live events I memorized the seats first day. Had no choice I was stressed but I don’t show it. I think I need this though I’m a introvert I have anxiety and stuff but I want to change that. It’s still complicated tho because the pay/hours doesn’t seem worth it and it’s kinda far from me, no car. Idk man, it’s not hard but it’s not easy either, that’s all I can say. Every kitchen is different so like mine is big asf we basically just doing everything like I’m a food runner but we prep n clean n do all of this other stuff too. Idk i feel like they just use us because all the male runners are young. Definitely didn’t see anybody else doing all that miscellaneous stuff. I like it but if it were closer it would be perfect I’ll still try to see if I can manage but if not I’ll find something else

Seems like a lot of this could be done in kitchen prep, why would an expediter/runner have to prep garnish? Is that common ?

[@cannabuds3019]

Depends on the kitchen, and if the restaurant is staffed enough.

[@martinsmith2258]

At Applebee’s an expo is usually a manager (least post covid due to short staffing). It’s a chain dine in restaurant so it’s a little different than the restaurant in this video but our servers are the ones that cut celery, cilantro, parsley, strawberries, etc which we have on our expo line. But it depends on the store bc some other Applebee’s leave those to the kitchen staff to do

[@Kitchenjitsu]

No this is not common

[@KaranShah731]

not really unless it’s a business owned by a cheap owner who want to spend less labour cost and save more money

[@iwannabeold215]

i don’t know what to do still

[@lucykabi8339]

Starting my job soon, i hope i nail it

[@Ollie-ul8ms]

Do you got any tips for food runners

[@tay_yo561]

this is part of my job i got today it is VERY new to me and i start Saturday D: aaaaah ! im excited and nervous af

[@shanelubrano2571]

do you guys not have seat numbers on your tickets so you know what plate is for who ?

[@CANWETALKPLZZ]

Where is work at it would be nice to have table number on tables on the side are something...ND they about to cross train me in 2 days ... I'm sure I got this

[@martinsmith2258]

@@CANWETALKPLZZ yeah you got it. Restaurant work is great and fun. Expo, serving, to go…

[@Nekulturny]

I fail to understand how these olives and peppers look good as garnish, who wants obviously jagged and torn things on their plate? I don't get it.

[@TJH2000]

1. Put a wet towel under your cutting board before you hurt yourself. 2. Who taught you to flip the cutting board? That is, hands down, the laziest, most unsanitary shortcut I've ever seen. 3. Use a proper tool to remove the pits from olives. 4. While handling the olives, why would you use gloves for the entire process, then remove them before the very last step? 5. Stop flipping the cutting board. 6. Why do you need a training video for an expo position?

[@elsolyelrio0195]

Maybe it’s for his employees for that specific restaurant? This is not expo tho .

[@Mixwell1983]

7. WHERES THE LAAAMMB SAUCE?
