  • Keep stations fully stocked and well organized by maintaining adequate food supplies, refreshing pantry items for freshness and appearance, and monitoring refrigeration as needed.
  • Ensure a sanitary kitchen environment by thoroughly cleaning work areas and equipment and regularly checking and recording food, refrigeration, and dish‑machine temperatures to support safety and satisfaction.

What We’re Looking For

  • Must be at least 18 years of age or older.
  • Ability to work every Saturday and Sunday, at least 8 hours per day.
  • Ability to read, speak and understand basic English.
  • Experience in kitchen preparation and cooking, preferred.
