As a kitchen helper, you perform a variety of duties in a restaurant, cafe, or large commercial kitchen. You use food service skills to assist chefs, wait staff, and restaurant managers with a variety of tasks to keep the kitchen functioning smoothly and safely. Although there are no formal qualifications required for this career, you typically have some form of previous restaurant work experience, such as dishwashing or bussing tables. You do not interact directly with customers, although your job may be near customer areas. Kitchen helpers must be detail oriented and capable of multi-tasking in a fast-paced environment.

|---|---|---|
| Primary Responsibilities | Assisting with food prep, cleaning, organizing | Loading, operating, and cleaning dishwashing equipment |
| Required Skills | Basic kitchen knowledge, ability to follow instructions | Ability to operate dishwashing machines, attention to cleanliness |
| Work Environment | Kitchen, food prep areas | Kitchen, dishwashing stations |
| Certifications | None typically required | None typically required |
