We are currently looking to hire a reliable and energetic Dishwasher & Prep Cook / Custodian for a full-time, temp-to-hire position. This role is vital to maintaining a clean, safe, and efficient kitchen environment, supporting the culinary team in various food preparation tasks while ensuring kitchen equipment and work areas adhere to strict sanitation standards. The schedule for this position is Friday through Tuesday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, offering a stable shift with a pay rate of $20.20 to $20.25 per hour. This role does not require a formal degree, making it accessible for candidates eager to start or grow their culinary or kitchen operation careers.
The Dishwasher & Prep Cook / Custodian will play an essential role in maintaining kitchen cleanliness by rapidly washing and sanitizing kitchen equipment, smallwares, and utensils. This position demands high attention to detail and adherence to food safety and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) policies, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and compliance with dress codes. The successful candidate will support both savory and pastry teams with food preparation tasks such as scaling, mixing, slicing, and portioning. Additionally, the role involves restocking ingredients, supplies, and cleaning materials to ensure seamless kitchen operations.
Participants in this role will engage in daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning routines, collaborating closely with teammates to maintain clean and organized workstations. The position requires individuals who can adapt efficiently to changing plans, arrive on time, and work with a strong sense of urgency and reliability. Candidates should have a passion for food and a commitment to contributing to a supportive, inclusive, and safe work environment.
Randstad emphasizes the importance of interpersonal skills for this role, valuing candidates who are collaborative, open to feedback, and empathetic listeners. Basic English reading, speaking, and math/writing skills are necessary to ensure effective communication and operational success. While no prior experience is mandatory, relevant kitchen experience, knowledge of safe equipment operation, and a Food Handler's Certificate (or the ability to obtain one within 30 days) are strongly preferred.
This role also expects physical stamina, as standing for up to eight hours at a time and working in a smoke-free environment are essential functions of the job.
