A dishwasher is responsible for washing dishes in a restaurant, cafeteria, cafeteria or other restaurant. The job usually calls for using a large automatic dishwasher, pots and pans, and maintaining a general level of cleanliness in the kitchen. A dishwasher doesn’t get a lot of training, and there aren’t a lot of requirements to get the position.

The main duty of a dishwasher is to pile dirty dishes, from the kitchen and dining room, into washing boxes and then feed them through the dishwasher. After the dishes are cleaned, the dishwasher is responsible for putting them back where they belong. Restaurant servers bring dirty dishes to the washing area, but the dishwasher may need to go to the kitchen line to gather dishes from cooks, who are busy and cannot bring dishes.

The dishwasher is often responsible for keeping a constant supply of clean dishes stocked at each station on the cooking line. Cooks need plates to prepare food for customers, and running out of plates or bowls during the dinner rush can back up the entire lineup. He should also bring clean glasses to the bar and ensure that the kitchen’s dispatch area, where sauces and garnishes are added to each dish before being brought to the customer, is stocked with the necessary dishes to get everything out of the kitchen on time.

Dishwashers are often responsible for keeping the kitchen catching up, often at slower times of the day. This includes sweeping and mopping, pulling out trash bags, and cleaning counters and sinks. They should also keep the dishwashing area clean and dry to avoid contamination between clean and dirty dishes and to avoid dangerous slippery zones.

During slow times, the dishwasher can do part of preparing food for the day. In many kitchens, dishwashers are trained in basic prep skills once they have expressed an interest or demonstrated competence. Dishwashers can also be called upon to chop vegetables, mix sauces, or make other staples that cooks are running out of during lunch or dinner. They may also be asked to retrieve food from coolers, freezers or dry areas if the cooks cannot get out of line to get it.

Washing dishes in a busy restaurant is not as easy as many people think. It’s a very stressful position as dirty dishes go in faster than the dishwasher can clean them. This can create a backup for dirty dishes. An inexperienced or slow dishwasher can bring the entire restaurant to a halt by not having the necessary dishes clean and ready to go. Many kitchens treat their best dishwashers well; they are an invaluable asset in a busy restaurant.
