JB-981 · Basic (A2) · 4 openings
A restaurant kitchen in the Kallio district of Helsinki is taking on kitchen assistants for the dish station and the preparation bench. The house serves a lunch of about two hundred covers and an evening a la carte service. The contract is permanent and the hygiene passport course is paid.
About role
You run the dish station through the service: scraping, racking, feeding the tunnel machine, drying and returning clean ware to the line. Between the pushes you peel and cut vegetables for the next service, portion salads into gastronorm trays and take deliveries in at the back door, checking the temperature of chilled goods and signing the note. At the end of the shift you break down and wash the machine, clean the floor drains and take the waste out to the sorted bins. The kitchen works two shifts, 08:00-16:00 and 14:00-22:00, and the temperature record is filled in at both.
