The transition from busser / runner to server or bartender is really hard in most restaurants. I would honestly try to find a place that would give you a chance. Seasonal places are good sometimes because they’ll need the extra hands.
Front of house is a whole different experience. Is there any realistic option to get a different position there? If not you can try to look around at other places in the area. Might be better off at least trying for something else, but I know time can be short if you are just looking before going off to college.
Look around your college. Look for a job around there. Maybe plan your commute that way????? The transition from Busser to Server is difficult.
To be honest, many bussers get passed over because they are good and the owner doesn't want to spend training dollars on training a server and a busser at the same time. Sounds like the place you are working at is small. Positions probably open up when people leave or quit. Unless you see a clear path to move up, find a new job.
Completely understand this feeling and wish there was an alternate option, but if there aren't opportunities there to move up and you're burnt-out running food, it sounds like it's time to see what else is out there. Just remember, this isn't forever. If it pays the bills and works for your schedule, it's just a steppingstone to greater things ahead.
Hang onto this role while you look for something else. I know this is going to be quite depressing, but making decent money at a job you don't like is better than making no money at a job you don't like which is a lot of people's reality right now. If you can think of a type of work you'd be more happy in, might be worth applying elsewhere. But if you can figure out how to change your perspective and make that decent money, might be worth sticking it out until college.
