A Typical Shift

You’ll start the day by having the cafeteria ready to open at 7:15 AM - morning beverages and breakfast items set, and the register drawer prepared by 7:10 AM. Between meal periods, you’ll reset the space by wiping tables and chairs, tidying the microwave area, and completing assigned deep-clean tasks.

As the day moves on, you’ll keep Grab-N-Go stocked, stage utensils and supplies for service, and open for lunch at 11:00 AM. You’ll stay attentive to voicemail messages for patient requests, document updates, and deliver items promptly. By mid-afternoon, you’ll close out register functions, complete the Cash Reconciliation Report and daily computer close-out, and turn in funds to the admitting cashier by 2:30 PM.
