The Dishwasher/Utility is responsible for maintaining cleanliness and sanitation standards throughout the restaurant to ensure a safe and pleasant dining environment. Key duties include cleaning and sanitizing all dishware, flatware, glassware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils while operating dishwashing equipment safely and correctly.
