Job Description

Swift Cafe is a vibrant restaurant located in the heart of the inner city, established three years ago with a mission to provide healthy food options in a community known as a food desert. The cafe has built a reputation for delivering fresh, nutritious meals to local residents who previously had limited access to wholesome food choices. Swift Cafe prides itself on community engagement, sustainability, and fostering a warm, welcoming environment for every customer who walks through the doors. The team at Swift Cafe is passionate about food quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous growth, working hard to expand not only their physical presence but also their reach through online product sales and innovative brand experiences.

The role we are offering is essential to maintaining the high standards of cleanliness and organization which Swift Cafe upholds. As a vital member of our team, the Dishwashing and Kitchen Support position involves a variety of duties crucial to the smooth operation of our kitchen and front-of-house areas. This role specifically focuses on collecting and washing pots, plates, utensils, and cups, ensuring that all kitchenware is clean and ready for use. Beyond cleaning, maintaining a tidy kitchen and front house is imperative to foster an efficient and safe working environment. The position also requires the ability to assist with prep work when needed, helping to contribute to overall kitchen productivity.

Candidates must be physically capable of managing the demands of this energetic role, including lifting heavy objects – up to 50 pounds multiple times a day – and placing items on both low and high shelves. The ability to work confidently in damp and hot environments is necessary for comfort and safety. The selected individual should also possess quick response skills to react to emergency situations effectively, ensuring the safety of themselves and their coworkers. The position offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to join a growing brand that values community impact, health-conscious food service, and team collaboration. Swift Cafe aims to develop not only a local favorite for meals but also build an exciting product line for online sales, adding to the diverse experience and growth potential within the company.
