Career Pathing:

This role could expand into Prep and/or Cook III roles after established tenure and internal department training. It depends on the individual to ensure that they are exceeding expectations and seeking guidance/training when offered.

What You’ll Be Up To:

• Rock the dish pit using commercial dishwashers to keep everything sparkling clean.
• Roll up your sleeves for a little hand-washing magic, some things just need that personal touch!
• Keep the kitchen fresh by emptying trash bins regularly (you’re basically a sanitation superhero).
• Give our beverage stations (coffee, tea, soda-you name it) a daily wipe-down so they’re always ready to pour.
• Rotate dishware and utensils like a pro to help them last longer and stay in top shape.
• Keep dish storage areas neat and organized, chaos isn’t your thing.
• Stick to food safety and sanitation rules because cleanliness is cool (and super important).
• Speak up if something’s not working, equipment issues or anything off should be flagged ASAP.
• Jump in to help the kitchen crew during the rush, prepping, cleaning, whatever needs doing.
• Pitch in with opening and closing duties. Teamwork makes the dream work.
• See a spill or broken glass? You're on it immediately for everyone’s safety.
• Take on extra tasks with a can-do attitude. Every little bit helps!

What We’re Looking For:

• You like staying busy and don’t mind hands-on, repetitive work.
• You're reliable with your time and can roll with a flexible schedule.
• Can lift up to 50+ lbs when needed and comfortable standing, bending, and moving for long shifts.
• Able to read cleaning labels and write clearly when needed—communication matters!
