This is an entry level job for most hotels and some restaurants. Busies or bus people (not all boys, you know) clear dishes, glasses and silverware from the table after diners leave. They wipe down the table, and reset it for the next diners. The busier scrapes the dishes, separate the silver, stacks the dishes and takes them in a tub or cart to the dishwasher area.

They may also bring glasses of water to newly seated guests, or fetch an occasional bottle of ketchup. They fold cloth napkins and lay tablecloths in restaurants that use them. They may wash the tables and chairs, and dust the rest of the dining room. At the end of the day they vacuum or mop the dining room.

They're often also assigned other jobs like emptying trash cans in the dumpster.

Bustiers are almost always paid minimum wage. In a few very nice restaurants the servers will give each bustier a small tip at the end of the shift, but the tips left on the table are the property of the server, not the bustier.

Bustiers may also assist with seat patterns and customer service. Often they may have to stock the pantries, refrigerators, bars with ingredient and food stuff as needed.
