Located in Elizabeth, NJ, the hotel caters to a dynamic clientele, offering comprehensive amenities and service-oriented experiences within its restaurants and event spaces.

The Dishwasher/Busser position is a pivotal dual-role within the hotel that bridges the back-of-house kitchen operations and the front-of-house restaurant dining area. This role primarily supports the kitchen by ensuring all dishware, utensils, pots, and pans are meticulously cleaned and organized, which keeps the kitchen environment efficient and hygienic. Simultaneously, the busser side of the role focuses on enhancing the dining experience by maintaining cleanliness and organization in the dining room, clearing and resetting tables promptly, assisting servers with food delivery, and supporting guests throughout their dining experience.

As a Dishwasher/Busser, you will be integral to maintaining a smooth workflow between kitchen and dining areas, contributing to the overall efficiency and guest satisfaction of the hotel’s restaurant operations. This position demands physical stamina for long standing periods, frequent bending, and lifting, along with the ability to work under fast-paced and sometimes challenging environmental conditions such as heat and wet areas. Additionally, flexibility in scheduling, including availability during nights, holidays, and weekends, is essential to meet the operational demands of a hospitality environment that operates around the clock.

The role offers competitive hourly pay at $16.25 and is supported by a robust benefits package that includes health and dental insurance, vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, employee discounts, a referral program, and flexible scheduling options. Friendwell Managed Hotels also emphasize continuous training and development, encouraging willingness to learn new skills related to food preparation, serving, and hospitality operations. This makes the position ideal for individuals seeking to build or advance a career in hospitality with an organization that values teamwork, strong communication skills, and a positive, proactive attitude.
