How to pre-bus plates: An effective, efficient system for restaurant servers
#forserversbyservers

This is how to bus plates -- entree plates (pre-busing).

1) Find the plate with the most food on it that wouldn't be able to stack another plate on top of. It has chicken bones on it, half a burger, etc.
2) Hold it like you brought it out -- thumb and pinky hooked over edge with three fingers underneath. You palm is supporting the weight -- not your wrist or fingers.
3)Then grab a plate that's more cleared. Silver is fine, you can stack that on the first plate.
*Note on silverware: put the blade of the knife into the prongs of the fork. This will keep them from sliding off the plate.
4) Grach each plate, move silver/ ramikens to first plate then stack on your second plate.

Try not to touch food. It's gross and looks gross.
If you got a mess on the table, steal a napkin to wipe it off the table and on to your plate.
*This was like the 4th take on this so my arm was shot, BUT it really does pay to be reasonably strong/ fit for this job. It's a physical job.
