You’ll usually work as part of a fast-paced kitchen team, collaborating closely with cooks, servers, and other dishwashers to ensure a steady flow of clean dishes and utensils.

    • Inspect and clear the dishwasher of any food debris after use.

    • Immediately report any mechanical or performance issues with the dishwasher to management.

  • Team Communication & Workflow Coordination

  • Maintain active and clear communication with kitchen and front-of-house staff to anticipate high-volume periods and ensure a steady flow of clean dishware during peak service hours.

  • Collaborate closely with the culinary team during the end-of-shift closing process to ensure all kitchen areas are thoroughly sanitized and ready for the next day's operations.

Work Environment & Physical Demands
