Job Description
Washing dishes at a professional level is different than in your own kitchen. Many restaurants and facilities have large, commercial-quality washers able to wash several trays of dishes quickly. Dishwashers unload the cutlery and dishes brought to the kitchen by Bussers while loading and organizing them into trays for the washer. Commercial dishwashers are not always able to accommodate larger pans and pots so they may occasionally need to be washed by hand. In addition, you may be required to assist with: Prep work Taking garbage and trash to the dumpster area Washing work areas, refrigerators, cooking equipment, walls, and floors Assembling, maintaining, and breaking down the dish machine
