Position Summary

The Dishwasher is one of the most important positions in our kitchen. Your work keeps production moving.

This is not a job where you'll spend the day standing in one place washing dishes. When dishwashing is caught up, you'll assist the kitchen team with cleaning, organization, food prep, stocking, and other production tasks.

• Maintain cleanliness of sinks, floors, drains, trash areas, and workstations
• Empty trash and recycling as needed
• Sweep and mop kitchen floors throughout the shift
• Restock supplies and keep storage areas organized
• Assist cooks with basic food preparation when needed
• Help package meals or complete other production tasks as assigned
• Follow all food safety and sanitation procedures
• Assist with end-of-day kitchen cleaning and closing responsibilities

What We're Looking For:

• Reliable and consistently on time
• Strong work ethic
• Positive attitude
• Able to work efficiently without constant supervision
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Able to stay organized under pressure
• Team player who is willing to help wherever needed
• Takes pride in doing quality work
• Willing to learn new skills

Physical Requirements

This position requires you to be able to:

• Stand for long periods
• Lift up to 50 pounds
• Frequently bend, squat, reach, and twist
• Work in a sometimes warm, often loud kitchen environment
• Move quickly and safely throughout the shift

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous restaurant, catering, or commercial kitchen experience is helpful but not required.
• We are happy to train the right person with a great attitude and strong work ethic.

Schedule

Part-time with the opportunity for additional hours based on production needs.
Required: Tuesday - Thursday: 11am-6pm and Fridays: 12pm-4pm (~25 hours)

Why Work at BOSS Meal Prep?

• Supportive team environment
• Consistent weekly schedule
• Opportunities to learn additional kitchen skills
• Satisfying fulfillment of making a difference and changing the lives of our clients for the better
• Growth opportunities into food preparation, cooking, production leadership, and management for motivated employees
• Employee meal discounts
• No late-night restaurant shifts

What Success Looks Like

Our best employees:

• Show up every shift on-time, ready to work, and happy to be here.
• Take initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do.
• Ask questions they don't know the answers to so tasks are completed correctly & efficiently
• Keep the kitchen clean and organized without being reminded.
• Help teammates whenever they finish their own responsibilities.
• Care about doing things the right way—not the easiest way.

If you're dependable, hardworking, and enjoy staying busy, we'd love to meet you.
