Known for its unique culinary creations and an exceptional work culture, First Watch operates with daytime-only hours to provide a healthy work-life balance. The company strongly values its employees, emphasizing a "You First" culture that ensures no night shifts for any team members, specifically benefiting roles like dishwashers who typically may face inconvenient shifts in other environments. As a franchisee of First Watch, our establishment upholds these values and offers a full-service casual dining atmosphere fostering professional growth and development.

The Dishwasher position at First Watch is integral to maintaining the smooth and efficient operation of the kitchen.

Beyond cleaning duties, dishwashers help keep the kitchen organized and support other kitchen staff as needed, contributing to an overall efficient workflow. This is an entry-level position ideal for individuals seeking steady daytime work in a fast-paced but supportive environment with ample opportunities for career advancement through training and development programs.

In addition to competitive pay, employees enjoy a robust benefits package including 401(k) retirement savings plans, meal discounts, an extensive perks program (Perkspot), and on-demand pay advances via ZayZoon. The company also provides shoes for crews, company-paid food handler certifications, and flexible scheduling options. These benefits highlight the company’s commitment to employee well-being and growth. Working at First Watch offers a chance to be part of a respected brand with a commitment to quality food, respectful workplace culture, and long-term employee satisfaction.
