Kitchen Helper

You wash, peel and chop vegetables, portion ingredients and keep the prep stations stocked so the cooks never wait. Pots, trays and pans go through the dishwashing machine, and you scrub by hand what the machine cannot take. Floors get mopped, surfaces wiped down and bins emptied at the end of each service. Shifts run on a rotation, mornings around 7 and evenings until close, with the weekend covered in turns. During lunch and dinner rush it gets loud and hot, and you move quickly between the sink, the prep table and the cold store. You also help unload deliveries and stack the dry goods and the walk-in fridge.

This is a full hotel kitchen, tiled and well lit, with gas ranges, combi ovens and a separate dishwashing area. It stays warm near the stoves and the floors can get wet, so non-slip shoes and care matter. The crew is a mix of locals and people from abroad, and the head chef runs a tidy, orderly pass.
