His job requires him to oversee a section of  four to eight tables called a station, along with a team of busboys and waiters. He makes sure that indeed busboys take bar orders, bring in dishes from the kitchen to the table as well as bills efficiently and that waiters do take food and drink orders and bring them to the table speedily. He also ensures that waiters take payments efficiently.
