• Between seatings, take soiled tableware to the dishroom, sort to designated areas in the soiled dish drop‑off area, then clean and reset tabletops.

Requirements

• At least one year of restaurant or similar experience preferred.
• Have positive energy, be ready to assist fellow support staff, and work as a team player.
• Ability to communicate effectively with managers, employees, and all guests.
• A flexible schedule to work days, nights, weekends, and holidays.
• Constant standing/walking with occasional stooping, kneeling, pushing, pulling, or lifting.
