Dishwasher

DESCRIPTION

DISHWASHER - Keep It Moving. Keep It Clean. Support the Team.

At Colton's Social House, Social Therapy is created by more than the people our guests see. Every clean plate, every stocked station, and every teammate who has what they need contributes to an experience that feels effortless on the other side of the kitchen doors.

Our Dishwashers are an important part of keeping that experience moving. They keep dishes, cookware, utensils, and equipment clean and circulating; maintain an organized and sanitary dish area; handle trash and cleaning responsibilities; restock throughout the restaurant; and support the Kitchen with whatever needs attention next.

This is a fast-paced, physical, hands-on position. During a busy shift, the work keeps coming-and a great Dishwasher learns how to stay organized, work with urgency, prioritize what the restaurant needs, and keep moving without sacrificing cleanliness or standards.

And when the dish pit is caught up, the job isn't done. There's always something that can be cleaned, stocked, organized, or done to help the team.

You may work behind the scenes, but your work shows up in every guest's experience. That's Social Therapy.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Wash, sanitize, and properly organize dishes, glassware, utensils, cookware, and kitchen equipment.
• Keep clean dishes and supplies circulating throughout the restaurant so each station has what it needs.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary dish area throughout the shift.
• Stay ahead of changing priorities and recognize which items need to be cleaned and returned to service first.
• Complete opening and closing restaurant setup and breakdown duties, helping prepare the Kitchen and restaurant for service and properly reset it afterward.
• Receive, move, organize, and put away deliveries, ensuring products and supplies are stored in their proper locations.
• Restock dishes, cookware, utensils, cleaning supplies, and other restaurant supplies throughout the shift.
• Empty trash, replace liners, break down cardboard, and maintain designated waste and disposal areas.
• Sweep, mop, and assist with cleaning floors, walls, drains, equipment, and other BOH areas.
• Assist the Kitchen with cleaning, stocking, organization, and other ongoing sidework throughout the shift.
• Help move, set up, break down, and properly store restaurant equipment, supplies, and other items as needed.
• Communicate with Cooks, Kitchen Leads, Management, and other team members to keep service moving.
• Handle restaurant equipment, chemicals, and cleaning products safely and according to established procedures.
• Notice where help is needed and step in-at Colton's, there is no "that's not my job."
• Take ownership of your area and responsibilities, leaving things clean, organized, stocked, and ready for what comes next.

COMPENSATION & SCHEDULING

In addition to hourly pay, Dishwashers receive:

• Additional weekly cash earnings based on restaurant sales and tip-outs

Full-Time and Part-Time opportunities are available. Evening, weekend, and holiday availability is expected.

Schedules are posted every Friday for the workweek beginning the second Monday after posting, giving our team advance notice to plan around their work schedule.

A GREAT PLACE TO START & GROW

Previous restaurant or dishwashing experience is welcome, but not required. We can teach someone our systems and standards; what we need from you is a willingness to work, learn, take feedback, and contribute to the team.

Dishwasher can also be a great place to begin learning how our Kitchen operates. For team members interested in developing into other BOH positions, there may be opportunities to build additional skills and responsibilities over time.

Growth is not automatic or guaranteed. It comes through demonstrated performance, reliability, consistency, willingness to learn, and readiness for additional responsibility.

REQUIREMENTS

• Must be 18 years of age or older.
• Previous restaurant or commercial dishwashing experience is welcome, but not required.
• Ability to work with urgency while maintaining cleanliness, organization, and attention to detail.
• Willingness to perform the full scope of the position, including dishwashing, trash removal, sweeping, mopping, stocking, cleaning, and ongoing sidework.
• Ability to recognize priorities, stay productive, and look for what needs attention without requiring constant direction.
• Dependable, accountable, team-oriented, and receptive to coaching and feedback.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced kitchen environment around heat, water, wet surfaces, noise, and cleaning products.
• Ability to remain on your feet for extended periods and perform frequent bending, reaching, lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and repetitive movements throughout a shift.
• Ability to safely lift, carry, and maneuver dish racks, cookware, trash, restaurant supplies, and other equipment required for the position.
• Willingness to support other areas of the Kitchen when needed-there is no "that's not my job."
• California Food Handler Card and Harassment Certification required within the applicable onboarding timeline.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and other shifts as scheduled.

ABOUT COLTON'S SOCIAL HOUSE

Colton's Social House was built around a simple idea: restaurants can be about more than great food and drinks. They can be places where people connect, celebrate, unwind, and leave feeling a little better than when they arrived.

We call that Social Therapy.

Since opening in Clovis in 2016, we've continued to evolve while staying focused on scratch-made food, thoughtfully crafted cocktails, a rotating selection of local and craft beer, and genuine hospitality. But what happens around the table matters just as much as what we put on it.

Our team members are Social Therapists, and every role contributes to the experience. Whether you're welcoming someone at the door, cooking their meal, crafting their cocktail, or keeping the restaurant running behind the scenes, the details matter.

We believe in raising the bar, owning the outcome, investing in growth, winning together, and never defaulting to "that's not my job." We're looking for people who want to contribute, keep learning, and take pride in being part of something that is always working to get better.

Great food. Great drinks. Genuine connection. That's Social Therapy.
