  • Portion and plate meals according to age-appropriate serving sizes.
  • Perform quality assurance checks to ensure meals meet safety and nutritional standards.
  • Maintain a clean and organized kitchen area at all times.
  • Follow all sanitation and food safety protocols, including proper storage and temperature control.
  • Ability to proactively observe emerging needs and willingness to take initiative without directives.
  • Ability to maintain consistent and reliable attendance required. Flexibility with scheduling as needed.
Description of Work
  • Receive and inspect catered meals upon delivery.
  • Portion and plate meals for each child based on dietary guidelines.
  • Check meals for freshness, correct temperature, and compliance with menu requirements.
  • Clean and sanitize kitchen surfaces, utensils, and equipment after each use.
  • Clean dishes using a commercial dishwasher for multiple meal services.
  • Dispose of waste properly and maintain hygienic conditions.
  • Work with day care staff to coordinate meal service schedules.
  • Report any issues with food quality or safety to management immediately.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
