Job description

Work & Travel USA: Busser at Forty One North, Newport, Rhode Island

Imagine spending your summer on one of America's most beautiful harbors – sailboats gliding past, salty ocean breeze in the air, and a lively waterfront restaurant buzzing with energy. That's everyday life at Forty One North, a stylish hospitality destination in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island. If you're a university student looking for a real American summer with great vibes, great people and great tips, this Busser role is calling your name.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Busser, you are the heartbeat of the dining room – the person who keeps everything flowing smoothly so guests can relax and enjoy their meal with an ocean view.

• Clearing, cleaning and resetting tables quickly and neatly between guests
• Assisting servers and bartenders with drink runs, food delivery and guest requests
• Refilling water, restocking silverware, glassware, napkins and condiments
• Keeping dining areas, service stations and the outdoor patio tidy and welcoming
• Helping with opening and closing duties and general cleanliness standards
• Greeting guests with a friendly smile and supporting the team wherever needed

Why Newport, Rhode Island?

Newport is a legendary New England summer town – famous for its Gilded Age mansions, the scenic Cliff Walk, sandy beaches like Easton's Beach, world-class sailing regattas and the iconic Newport Folk & Jazz Festivals. Cobblestone streets, seafood shacks, ice cream on the harbor and sunsets over the Atlantic – this is postcard America. Plus, you're only about an hour from Providence and Boston, and a bus ride from New York City for weekend adventures.

Your Benefits

• $6.00 per hour PLUS tips – tip share at a busy waterfront venue can significantly boost your earnings
• 38 hours per week – stable, reliable income all season long
• Season from Summer to Fall – enjoy peak beach season and the gorgeous New England autumn
• Real hospitality experience at a respected American venue for your CV
• Practice English every single day with guests and colleagues
• An international team and lifelong friendships from around the world
• Free time to explore beaches, festivals, and the East Coast

What We're Looking For

• Conversational English and a positive, guest-friendly attitude
• Energy and stamina – bussing is fast-paced and involves standing, walking and lifting trays
• Team spirit, reliability and punctuality
