Kitchen Assistant

You run the dishwashing line: scrape, load and unload the machine, wash the pots, pans and bains marie by hand, and put everything back on its marked shelf. Between services you prepare raw material for the cooks, peeling, washing and cutting vegetables to the size the recipe asks for. You keep the floor dry, wipe down the surfaces after each service and record the fridge temperatures on the control sheet. The shift is 07:30 to 16:00 from Monday to Friday and you report to the head cook.
