• Operate dishwashing equipment to clean and sanitize dishes, glassware, cookware, and utensils.
• Keep kitchen spaces organized, stocked, and running smoothly.

• Support the culinary team by restocking supplies and, when needed, assisting with basic prep.
• Maintain a safe and sanitary work environment in line with health standards.

What We’re Looking For

• A dependable team player who enjoys working in a high-energy environment.
• Ability to work efficiently under pressure while staying positive.
• Willingness to learn and grow in a professional kitchen.
• Flexibility for daytime shifts in our Tasting Room and weekend shifts for weddings and private events.
