DESCRIPTION
Job Description: Dishwasher
Position Classification: Part-Time / Non-Exempt
Reports To: Kitchen Manager / Manager on Duty
Who We Are
At Walk-On's, every role matters-front of house, back of house, and everything in between. We bring Louisiana flavor and gameday energy to every shift, and our dishwashers are the MVPs behind the scenes making it all possible. Without clean plates, glasses, and kitchen tools, the game stops-and that's why we need you on our team.
What You'll Do

• Be the backbone of the kitchen-wash, sanitize, and organize dishes, utensils, and cookware so the team can keep serving up the win.
• Keep the dish room spotless-trash emptied, floors mopped, cans cleaned, and everything in its place.
• Set up and break down dish machines daily, making sure everything is operating safely and correctly.
• Pre-soak, scrub, and sanitize pots, pans, silverware, and more-nothing leaves your station dirty.
• Monitor water temperatures and cleaning standards to ensure guest safety and food quality.
• Help keep the kitchen moving-assist teammates when needed, stay flexible, and hustle through busy shifts.
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and HACCP guidelines.
• Take pride in your work-our guests may never see you, but they'll know when you're winning!

What It Takes

• Must be 18 years or older.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working around wet floors, high heat, and loud noise.
• Detail-oriented and able to keep areas clean, organized, and safe.
• Basic understanding of cleaning and sanitizing practices.
• Positive attitude, team-first mentality, and pride in keeping the kitchen championship-ready.
• High school diploma or equivalent preferred, but not required.

What We're Looking For

• Someone with hustle and energy who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• A self-motivated teammate who takes ownership of the "dirty work" and does it with pride.
• A reliable worker who shows up ready to play every shift.
• A true team player who supports everyone in the heart of the house.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Work in a gameday atmosphere where every shift feels like you're part of the team.
• Flexible part-time hours-perfect for students or anyone with outside commitments.
• A supportive culture built on camaraderie, teamwork, and winning together.
• Growth opportunities-today's dishwasher could be tomorrow's line cook or manager.

Compliance Note
All dishwashers must follow federal, state, and local health and safety standards. Proper sanitation practices and food safety training are required and enforced.

REQUIREMENTS
Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat-it's a story of heart, hustle, and the underdog spirit.
Our journey started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when two LSU walk-on basketball players turned their dream into reality. With no scholarships, no guarantees, and no spotlight, they built their success the same way they built Walk-On's: through hard work, teamwork, and never giving up. That drive has grown from a single restaurant into a nationally recognized brand, but we've never lost sight of our roots. At Walk-On's, we pride ourselves on scratch-made dishes with a Louisiana flair, a fun and welcoming game-day atmosphere, and a culture that treats every team member like family.

When you join Walk-On's, you're joining a team that values energy, passion, and pride in every shift. We celebrate wins together, push through challenges side by side, and make sure our guests feel like part of the team, too. This isn't just a job-it's a chance to be part of a winning culture where you can grow, shine, and help carry on the Walk-On's tradition of turning hard work and hospitality into something truly special.
Our Core Values at Walk-On's: Teamwork - Every role matters, and we win together. Hospitality - We deliver unforgettable experiences with genuine care.
