Communicate with cooks when they're running low on pans or utensils. Keep a positive attitude under pressure. Be reliable and on time. Follow food safety and sanitation standards. Safely use chemicals and wear proper PPE. Physical Requirements Stand for long periods (8-10 hours). Frequently lift up to 50 lbs. Work in a hot, wet, fast-paced environment. Bend, reach, and carry heavy pots and racks. Performance Standards A dishwasher is successful when they: Keep dishes flowing so the kitchen never runs out of essentials. Maintain a clean and safe work area. Complete assigned cleaning tasks each shift. Support the kitchen team wherever needed. Arrive on time and ready to work. For TAP21, where you're serving prime rib, burgers, wings, fish, and handling busy beer service, I'd also include: Polish and organize beer glasses before service. Keep fry baskets, sauté pans, and sheet trays cycling continuously during rushes. Help restock the line with clean utensils and pans during peak hours. Assist with receiving and putting away deliveries when needed. Report any broken dishes, glassware, or equipment immediately. This creates a dishwasher position that contributes to the entire kitchen's success rather than simply "washing dishes."
