Dishwasher: Entry-Level Position

Looking to break into Culinary Arts? Before many of the world’s finest chefs were able to create their signature dishes, they first had to earn their keep by washing dishes.

Being a dishwasher is gritty. It doesn’t always feel rewarding. Food doesn’t jump off the plates & pots & pans and into the garbage on its own, and there will always be one more handful of silverware you swear wasn’t at the busser station when you went to do a final dish collection, but for those who take on the challenge, there are a few perks for this entry-level position:

Commercial-grade dishwashing equipment
Fast-paced environment so the time flies
Fun-loving staff who actually get along
Chances to learn the next step up: prep cook
