What We're Looking For:
  • Fast worker with attention to detail
  • Physically able to lift, bend, and stay on your feet
  • Doesn't mind working behind the scenes - but ready to step up when needed
  • Takes pride in a clean space
  • Shows up on time, every time, with a good attitude

Skills & Attributes:

  • Good communicator - lets the team know when supplies run low or help is needed
  • Follows instructions and respects structure
Bonus Points (Preferred but not required):
  • Prior experience in a kitchen, dish pit, or utility role
  • Familiarity with commercial dishwashers and kitchen cleaning products
  • Can handle basic closing or prep tasks as trained
Requirements
  • Must be at least 15 years old
