Kitchen Team Members keep our kitchen running. Your home base is the dish station: washing, sanitizing, and restocking the dishes, cookware, and utensils the kitchen needs for every meal. When the dish station is caught up, you'll support food prep, storage, and guest meal service, so you'll work in several areas of the kitchen during a shift. This is a good fit for someone who likes staying busy, working on their feet, and being part of a team. [Add perks: training provided, shift meal, etc.]
