$9.00-$12.00 per hour. This is a non-tipped position. Team members begin at the lower end of the range during the introductory training period.

What You'll Do:

Wash and sanitize dishes, glassware, utensils, cookware, and kitchen equipment thoroughly and efficiently. Keep the dish area clean, dry, organized, and free of unsafe buildup or avoidable pileups. Complete assigned food-preparation tasks according to recipes, portion standards, and food-safety procedures. Wash, cut, portion, label, date, and store ingredients as assigned. Maintain clean floors, drains, trash areas, prep surfaces, and kitchen workspaces. Remove trash, break down boxes, restock supplies, and support kitchen organization. Communicate clearly when supplies are low or when a sanitation or equipment concern needs attention. Follow all cleaning, chemical-handling, cross-contamination, and food-storage procedures.

Dependability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic. A sense of urgency and the ability to maintain quality during busy shifts. Attention to cleanliness, organization, recipes, and portion accuracy. The ability to stand for extended periods, work around heat and moisture, and safely lift up to 50 pounds. Previous dishwashing, kitchen, or food-prep experience is helpful but not required; we will train the right person. Pay progression is earned by consistently meeting role milestones, including dish-area control, sanitation standards, prep accuracy, recipe and portion consistency, safe food handling, dependable attendance, speed, and teamwork.
