We’ve been serving the Burlington community since 1985, with no sign of stopping. Now, we’re looking for our next full-time dishwasher.  As the newest member of our kitchen crew you can count on a few things: a stable  schedule, great working conditions, and being part of a close-knit team who truly enjoy working together.  If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, then look no further!  Dishwasher:  As our new dishwasher, your main goal is to run and maintain our dish-washing area.  You will:  * Ensure our kitchen and front-of-house staff have the clean dishes and tools they need to keep our food service running smoothly  * Make sure all dishes, glassware, cookware, and utensils are cleaned and disinfected properly, and distributed throughout the kitchen and restaurant    When you’re not dish-washing, you’ll support our kitchen crew with basic food prep and portioning. You’ll also help us maintain a clean and safe restaurant environment by mopping, sweeping, cleaning equipment, and stocking restrooms.   The Right Fit:  While some dish-washing or kitchen experience will prepare you for this role, we’re more concerned about who you are, rather than what you’ve done. Our best dishwashers share these qualities:  * Reliable – this is an important job – even the best tasting food wouldn’t look appetizing on a dirty dish. You’re someone we can count on to show up on time and do the job well, because you care.  * Organized – your strong organizational skills will allow you to keep up with a fast-pace of our busy restaurant.  * Team-oriented – you have a strong team spirit and are always willing to pitch in wherever you’re needed. Throughout your day, you’ll enjoy a lot of interaction with your crew, and you’re always looking out to see where and how you can help them.  * Independent –You’re able to take and follow directions well, and you thrive in an environment where you’re able to manage your work independently.  Working at Jake’s Grill and Oyster House:  Almost half of our staff have worked with us for more than 5 years, and some have been with us for over 20!  If you asked them why they love working here, they’d tell you that it all comes down to the people.
