Kitchen Helper

The Kitchen Helper plays an essential role in keeping the kitchen running smoothly, cleanly, and safely.

Basic Food Preparation: Assist chefs by washing, peeling, chopping, and slicing vegetables, fruits, and herbs; portioning ingredients; and preparing basic sauces or marinades according to recipes. Dishwashing & Sanitation: Wash pots, pans, utensils, dishware, and kitchen equipment using commercial dishwashers or manual three-compartment sinks; ensure clean items are stored correctly and promptly. Kitchen Maintenance & Cleanliness: Keep work surfaces, prep tables, cutting boards, floors, and storage areas clean, sanitized, and clutter-free throughout the shift. Waste Management: Empty garbage, compost, and recycling bins regularly; dispose of kitchen waste and grease according to environmental and safety guidelines. Stock & Inventory Handling: Receive, inspect, unload, and store food deliveries (dry goods, fresh produce, meat, dairy) in walk-in coolers, freezers, and dry pantries; follow FIFO (First-In, First-Out) rotation principles. Safety & Compliance: Adhere strictly to workplace health and safety rules, personal hygiene policies, and food safety standards (such as HACCP procedures).
