they stand at the food window where the cooks put out the plates of food and make sure that burgers get lettuce and tomato, soup gets a sprinkle of cheese and cracker packets on the side, club sandwich gets a pickle spear on the side, ribs get a side of beans, salad gets salad dressing... all that kind of stuff... they also take the tickets the server wrote special instructions on (no lettuce, side of mayo, extra ranch etc.) and follow the instructions. they they give the plates to a food runner who then takes it to the table... then a server should check with the table to see that everything is ok, and if not, the server has to fix it... but the expo and the runner still got paid.
for the most part, expos are awesome, and on their toes always... but every once in a while you get some that don't care and send out beef nachos to someone who ordered chicken ... reading tickets is a huge deal and a lot of expos just assume the cook made it correctly and send it out.
