Position Overview

We are looking for a hardworking, reliable Kitchen Steward to join our culinary team. You are the engine room of the kitchen—the person who ensures the chefs have clean tools and the guests have sparkling plates. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in a clean workspace, and wants to see the inner workings of a professional kitchen.

• Key Responsibilities
• Sanitization: Operate industrial dishwashers to clean all chinaware, glassware, and silver. Hand-wash larger pots, pans, and specialized culinary equipment.
• Organization: Return clean items to their proper storage areas and ensure the "mise en place" for the service team is always ready.
• Waste Management: Empty trash bins, manage recycling, and handle food waste disposal according to health and safety regulations.
• Kitchen Support: Assist chefs with basic prep tasks (e.g., peeling vegetables) during peak periods if requested.
• Safety Compliance: Maintain a dry, slip-free floor by mopping and cleaning spills immediately. Use chemicals and cleaning agents safely as per MSDS guidelines.
• Inventory: Help unload delivery trucks and organize the walk-in fridge and dry storage.
• Qualifications & SkillsExperience: Previous experience in a kitchen or janitorial role is a plus, but we are happy to train anyone with a great attitude.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long shifts and work in a hot, humid environment.
• Speed & Efficiency: The ability to stay calm and move quickly during a "rush."
• Team Player: A "no task is too small" mentality and a willingness to help wherever needed.
• Availability: Flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
• What’s In It For You?
• Competitive Pay
• Shift Meals: Stay fueled with high-quality food from our kitchen.
• Career Growth: This is a classic entry point into the culinary world. Many of our best chefs started right here at the dish pit.
• Team Culture: Work in a high-energy environment with a team that has your back.

Note to Applicants: A kitchen is a symphony of moving parts. As a Steward, you aren't just "washing dishes"—you are maintaining the hygiene and flow that makes the entire restaurant successful.
