Job Description

Denny's is a renowned American diner-style restaurant franchise known for its delicious comfort food and welcoming atmosphere. As a beloved establishment with locations across the country, Denny's prides itself on providing high-quality dining experiences to its Guests. Each restaurant is independently owned and operated by franchisees who ensure that every aspect of the operation meets the high standards set by the brand. This makes Denny's a unique place to work, combining the strength of a national brand with the community spirit and personal touch of a local business. The franchise model fosters a collaborative and supportive environment where team members are valued and given opportunities for growth and development. In addition to serving up iconic dishes around the clock, Denny’s has a strong commitment to creating a safe and sanitized work environment for its employees, which contributes significantly to a positive workplace culture.

This job posting is specifically for the role of Dishwasher at an independently owned and operated Denny’s franchise location. This position is essential to maintaining the cleanliness and operational efficiency of the kitchen and dining areas. As a Dishwasher, you will be responsible for washing and sanitizing all pans, utensils, dishes, and tables to ensure guests enjoy their meals in a clean and hygienic environment. This role offers flexible scheduling to accommodate different lifestyles and is ideal for individuals seeking entry-level work with opportunities for growth within the restaurant industry. The pay range for the Dishwasher position typically falls between $16.50 and $17.50 per hour, although actual pay will vary based on location, experience, and franchisee decisions.

Working at Denny’s as a Dishwasher means more than just handling cleaning duties; it’s about being part of a team that values leadership, education, and advancement. Employees receive ongoing support and training to enhance their skills, preparing them for potential career development within the company. This role is ideal for individuals who are dependable, hardworking, and eager to contribute to the smooth running of the restaurant. While the franchisor manages the brand and provides general guidance, the independent franchisee is responsible for all employment-related decisions, including hiring, scheduling, and discipline. Employees are hired directly by the franchisee and not by the franchisor, ensuring a localized approach to employment practices. The organization is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of age, race, gender, or other protected characteristics, fostering an inclusive and respectful work environment throughout its locations.
