@ Asker thanks. Seems to be some inhouse slang then. Probably safest just to say that everyone is expected to pitch in and help when required (rather than sticking to their defined roles)
Anthony Indra (asker) Nov 15, 2020:
No it is not Bumps It's the famous burger brand
Yvonne Gallagher Nov 15, 2020:
@ Anthony Thanks. "activity" only insofar as running a burger joint though. Is the place called "Bumps" by any chance as I see a few burger places called that? I think it's basically saying that the various teams have to help out if needed to assist coordinator with orders.
Anthony Indra (asker) Nov 15, 2020:
I think it is an activity These are the instructions to be ready for Customers:
- Front register operator in position to greet customers
- Team must stock properly and ready for Rush orders
- Coordinator assembles accessories as orders are being placed
- Team bumps and slides to assist as needed
- Product outages minimized
Yvonne Gallagher Nov 15, 2020:
@ Anthony do you have any more context that might help here? Or pics? "slideRs" are a type of (mini) burger that might fit but unsure about "bumps"

does whatever necessary

This is just an educated guess - I've never heard this term, I can't find it online, and I think the writer has just made it up.

I think it probably means they help one another out, and don't worry too much about what their job descriptions say.

bumping up the number of people in a team, and moving people from one team to another.

This is just a guess:
Team bumps: occasions when you have to bump up the number of people in a team.
Team slides: occasions when you have to move (slide) people from one team to another.

On the other hand it can be a metaphorical name chosen by the restaurant owner that means quick service, it could be the 'quick service team' too.
One can guess through the sense?...
bump=bang; slide=glide: move with a smooth, quiet continuous motion
