The Steward supports the kitchen and food-and-beverage operation by washing dishes, cookware, utensils, and equipment; keeping back-of-house areas clean; handling waste correctly; and assisting with receiving and storing supplies. Candidates should be physically fit, reliable, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced hotel environment. Basic food-safety and hygiene knowledge is helpful, although on-the-job training may be provided.

Previous hotel, restaurant, or stewarding experience is an advantage but may not be essential.
