Kitchen Prep

Kitchen prep staff are essential for restaurant operations, responsible for washing, chopping, slicing, and preparing ingredients according to recipes and chef instructions. Key duties include maintaining a sanitized workstation, managing ingredient inventory, stocking, and supporting line cooks during service. They work under high-pressure conditions, often lifting heavy, and requiring high stamina.

A Porter/Dishwasher maintains kitchen sanitation by cleaning dishes, equipment, and surfaces, organizing storage, and supporting chefs in a fast-paced environment. Key duties include operating dishwashers, scrubbing pots/pans, sweeping/mopping floors, and removing waste to uphold food safety standards. This physically demanding, entry-level role requires stamina for long shifts and, often, heavy lifting.
