Selected answer:does whatever necessary
Explanation:
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.

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
