Join the team at Jasmine Thai and Sushi Bar in Paducah! We take pride in our clean, fast-paced, and respectful kitchen environment. We are seeking a reliable Back-of-House (BOH) team member who wants to build a long-term career with us. This position starts with foundational dishwashing and kitchen utility tasks, with a pathway to cross-train and grow your skills into food preparation and cooking. If you take pride in your work, show up on time, and want to learn how to prepare authentic Asian-inspired dishes alongside a supportive team, we want you!

What You’ll Do:

• Foundational Dish & Utility: Operate commercial dishwashing equipment safely to wash, rinse, and sanitize all dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, and pans. Maintain an organized dish area and ensure clean items are properly restocked.
• Kitchen Prep & Operations: Gradually learn to prepare fresh ingredients, sauces, and components for menu items. Maintain high food safety standards, including proper storage and labeling.
• Culinary Growth : Cross-train on the line to use the grill, fryers, and a wok to prepare stir-fry, noodle, and fried rice dishes over high heat.
• Team Collaboration: Maintain clean and dry workstations, monitor inventory, and collaborate with team members to ensure smooth food prep during busy service times.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven Longevity: A reliable work history showing dedication and steady employment at previous jobs.
• Schedule Flexibilty: Most evenings and weekends are required. Typical working hours run from 10:00am–9:00pm (includes a 1 ½ hour break).
• Experience: Previous dishwashing or kitchen experience is preferred, but a strong willingness to learn and cross-train between stations is essential.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods, bend, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in a fast-paced, hot, and humid environment.
• Skills: Effective communication skills and dependable transportation to our Paducah location. Bilingual in Spanish and English is a plus.

• Great Perks: Free cook's meal on scheduled work days.
• Work-Life Balance: Consistent weekly schedule that fits your life. No early mornings or late nights.
