Dishwasher

Salary Range $21.00 - $22.00 Hourly Position Type Full Time Job Shift Day Category Hospitality - Hotel

Green Top Farms is a New York-based food service company specializing in farm-fresh meals for enterprise workplace dining and corporate catering. We partner with leading companies to deliver elevated daily dining and hospitality experiences, using seasonal ingredients and thoughtful operations to create consistent, high-quality service at scale.

Our mission is to build a more sustainable and equitable food system, starting by reconnecting consumers and local farmers. We believe the results of strengthening that connection are better nutrition, tastier food, greater social justice, and reduced environmental impacts. Our menus reflect this attention to bringing nutritious, delicious food to those who need it most.

Position Overview

The Dishwasher is a key member of our back-of-house team at a corporate client's on-site cafeteria. You keep the kitchen running: clean smallware, cookware, and service ware ready when the culinary team and service line need them, and a sanitary, organized dish area throughout the day. While this role is not guest-facing, it takes pride in quiet reliability, and the cleanliness and pace you maintain directly shape the guest experience. You'll work in a professional corporate setting and represent Green Top Farms on the client's premises.
