Job description

The kitchen doesn't run without the dish pit. You keep clean plates, glassware, pans, and tools moving back to the line and the bar so service never stops waiting on you. It's physical, fast, and essential — and it's the best seat in the house for learning how a professional kitchen actually works. We promote from dish to prep and prep to the line.

• Wash dishes, glassware, flatware, pots, pans, and kitchen tools by machine and by hand
• Keep clean product moving back to the line, the bar, and the FOH service stations without letting anything run out

• Scrape, sort, and stage incoming dishes to keep the pit from backing up
• Keep the dish area clean, dry, and organized throughout the shift
• Empty trash and recycling; break down boxes and take out garbage
• Sweep and mop kitchen floors; clean floor mats and drains
• Assist with receiving and putting away deliveries
• Complete deep-cleaning tasks on a rotating schedule — hoods, walls, shelving, equipment, walk-in
• Complete opening, closing, and side-work checklists
• Support the kitchen with basic prep tasks as needed and as you're trained
• Report equipment issues, low chemical supplies, or safety hazards to the Kitchen Manager

What we're looking for
