Job Overview

We are looking for a dependable and hardworking Dishwasher to join our team at our upscale casual Italian restaurant. This position plays an important role in keeping the kitchen running smoothly by maintaining clean dishes, cookware, equipment, and work areas throughout dinner service.

Our ideal candidate is team-oriented, reliable, and takes pride in helping create a clean, organized, and efficient kitchen environment. No two shifts are exactly the same, so we’re looking for someone who is willing to jump in wherever needed and work alongside a supportive culinary team.

Key Responsibilities

• Wash and sanitize dishes, glassware, flatware, cookware, utensils, and kitchen equipment promptly and efficiently.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of the dish area, kitchen floors, trash areas, walk-ins, and storage spaces.

• Assist with garbage removal, recycling, and keeping work areas clean throughout service.
• Support kitchen staff with basic cleaning, stocking, and organizational tasks as needed.
• Help maintain compliance with food safety, sanitation, and health department standards.
• Assist with receiving and organizing deliveries when needed.
• Complete opening and closing cleaning duties assigned by kitchen leadership.
• Work collaboratively with cooks, chefs, and front-of-house staff to support smooth restaurant operations.
• Jump in to help the team wherever needed during busy service periods.

Qualifications

• Previous restaurant or dishwashing experience is helpful, but not required — we are willing to train the right person.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and stay organized during busy shifts.
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and positive attitude.
• Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as business needs require.
• Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to help wherever needed.
• Ability to follow safety and sanitation procedures consistently.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods during shifts.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
• Frequent bending, lifting, reaching, and repetitive hand movements required.

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Employee meal discounts
• Flexible scheduling
• Opportunities for growth and advancement
• Supportive and team-focused work environment
