Job Description

Description:

At Lot 54, we are passionate about delivering exceptional food, high-energy service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We believe that a smooth-running restaurant starts with a strong, organized backbone in the heart of the kitchen.

At Lot 54, we work hard, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We're looking for teammates who bring good vibes, keep the team dynamic fun, and aren't camera-shy! We love featuring our crew in behind-the-scenes social media content, hype videos, and team highlights. If you love good food, good energy, and having a blast with your team, this is the job for you.

We are seeking reliable, hard-working, and positive Utility Workers to join our team. In this hybrid role, you are the backbone of our heart-of-house operations—handling high-volume dishwashing, light food prep, and maintaining overall kitchen cleanliness and sanitation across morning, afternoon, or evening shifts.

• Dish Pit Operations: Efficiently scrape, wash, sanitize, and organize all dishes, glassware, flatware, pots, pans, and kitchen utensils using commercial dishwashing equipment and manual washing stations.
• Kitchen Cleanliness: Maintain clean, safe, and sanitized work areas throughout the shift, including taking out trash/recycling, sweeping, mopping floors, and sanitizing high-touch surfaces.
• Basic Food Prep: Assist the culinary team with light prep work during downtime (e.g., peeling, chopping, washing produce, portioning ingredients, and basic prep stock).
• Restocking & Organization: Put away food, supply, and chemical shipments safely, following FIFO (First-In, First-Out) food rotation practices, and keeping storage areas organized.
• Vibe & Culture: Bring a positive work ethic, help keep kitchen morale high, and participate in fun, behind-the-scenes social media content and kitchen crew showcases.

• Experience: Previous restaurant, dishwasher, or kitchen cleaning experience is preferred, but we are happy to train anyone with the right attitude and work ethic!
• Punctuality & Reliability: Show up on time ready to work and support the team.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand, bend, stoop, and move quickly for extended periods, and comfortably lift up to 50 lbs.
• Personality: Positive attitude, strong team-first mindset, camera-friendly, and a good sense of humor.
• Safety Mindset: Ability to follow food safety, sanitation, and chemical safety guidelines properly.

• Competitive hourly pay + potential shift perks
• Flexible scheduling (Daytime or Evening shifts)
• A fun, supportive, and inclusive kitchen culture
• Clear opportunities to learn culinary skills and grow into line cook roles
