What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dishwasher / Kitchen Helper position at Bonanza Social Kitchen?
Our small, local Korean restaurant (the only Korean restaurant in Williamsburg) is looking for a reliable new team member. We’re not just hiring for a job; we’re looking for someone who wants a steady place and can grow with us over time!
We’re usually steady, but there are busy rushes during lunch and dinner, so we need someone who can stay focused and keep up when it picks up.
Experience in kitchens or food service is preferred, but it’s not required. You don’t need to know Korean or Asian food; we’re happy to teach as long as you’re willing to learn and put in effort.
This is a great opportunity for individuals with a positive attitude who want to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced restaurant setting while being part of a supportive team.
