Duties typically include washing and sanitizing dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and kitchen tools; removing waste; cleaning floors and work areas; restocking supplies; and supporting culinary colleagues during busy service periods. Candidates should be dependable, physically fit, comfortable standing for extended periods, and able to lift, bend, and work in a fast-paced, hot, and wet environment.
