Job Description

Dishwasher 
Position Summary

At Hometown Coffee & Juice, every role plays an important part in creating a great customer experience. As a Dishwasher, you help keep the heart of our kitchen clean, organized, and running smoothly. You'll be responsible for washing and sanitizing dishes, utensils, cookware, and kitchen equipment while maintaining a clean and efficient dish area.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role that requires teamwork, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership. Your work directly supports the kitchen team and helps ensure we are ready to deliver quality food and service throughout the day.

Our Northbrook café is scheduled to open in December 2026. Team members hired before opening will have the opportunity to begin training and work scheduled hours at our Glenview location. This allows you to get to know Hometown, build confidence in your role, and start earning hours before the Northbrook café officially opens.

What You'll Do Keep the Kitchen Moving
  • Wash, rinse, sanitize, and organize dishes, utensils, cookware, and kitchen equipment according to Hometown standards.
  • Maintain a steady flow of clean dishes and equipment, especially during busy service periods.

  • Properly dispose of trash and recyclables and help keep the entire BOH area clean.
Support Food Safety & Sanitation
  • Follow all food safety, sanitation, and safety procedures.
  • Handle and store dishes, kitchen equipment, and cleaning supplies properly.
  • Follow Hometown's cleanliness standards and help prevent cross-contamination.
Be a Great Teammate
  • Work closely with kitchen teammates and leadership to keep operations running smoothly.
  • Follow direction, communicate clearly, and ask questions when clarification is needed.
  • Bring a positive, dependable, and team-first attitude to every shift.
  • Support teammates wherever needed during busy periods.
What You Bring
  • Previous dishwasher or kitchen experience is preferred, but we are happy to train the right person.
  • Knowledge of proper sanitation and dishwashing practices is a plus.
  • Ability to work efficiently and stay organized in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to cleanliness.
  • A positive attitude and willingness to support the team.
Physical Requirements

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-heat environment.
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
  • Ability to safely handle heavy pots, pans, dishes, and kitchen equipment.
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Be part of a supportive, team-oriented kitchen environment.
  • Learn new skills and gain experience in a fast-paced café.
  • Play an important role in keeping the entire operation running smoothly.
  • Grow with a company that values teamwork, ownership, and development.
