KITCHEN Dishwasher

Dishwasher

The Dishwasher is responsible for cleaning dishes to ensure that the kitchen has a steady supply of clean plates, bowls, silverware, pots, pans and glasses. Their duties include prioritizing loads of different types of crockery and kitchenware, hand-washing dishes, loading the dishwasher and placing dishes to dry.

Dishwashers unload the cutlery and dishes brought to the kitchen by Bussers while loading and organizing them into trays for the washer. Commercial dishwashers are not always able to accommodate larger pans and pots so they may occasionally need to be washed by hand.

Requirements include prep work, taking garbage and trash to dumpster area, washing work areas, refrigerators, cooking equipment, walls and floors, assembling, maintaining and breaking down the dish machine. Ability to lift up to 50 pounds several times a day, place cases, pans, utensils and plates on both low and high shelves, work in hot and damp environments, and respond to emergency situations to avoid endangering themselves or others.
