crumber
Waiter's cleaning tool
A crumber is a small tool used by restaurant servers to sweep crumbs from a tablecloth between courses.
It typically resembles a small flat blade or curved scraper.
The word also refers to the person doing the crumbing: The crumber appeared silently and swept the table clean before dessert.
