English term or phrase: bussing
Bussing and dishwashing
The responsibilities and tasks of a busperson will vary depending on the type and organization of the restaurant or food service operation. The key is to be flexible and ready to take on any task.
In many restaurants, it is the duty of the busperson to greet newly seated guests and deliver iced water and bread or other pre-meal items.
In between courses, the busperson may clear used tableware, replacing with clean items if necessary, while generally keeping the table clean by removing crumbs and other food items.

el puesto/trabajo de mesero


Explanation:
Also camarero. Bussing is the work that a busperson does, which is mainly taking away the dirty dishes and preparing the table for the next customer. As stated in the description, it could be anything other than taking the order and serving the main course, which is the work of the waiter/waittress.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gracias por tu respuesta. "Ayudante de camarero" lo usaría para "busperson". ¿Me ayudas con "bussing" en el caso de "bussing and dishwashing"?
