The organization values a fun, dynamic workplace culture that encourages team members to take their work seriously but enjoy the process, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
The Kitchen Steward role at Mainsail Lodging & Development is a pivotal position within the hotel’s food and beverage operations. This role is designed for enthusiastic, energetic individuals who thrive in a fast-paced kitchen environment and are dedicated to maintaining impeccable cleanliness and efficiency. The Kitchen Steward will play a crucial part in supporting the kitchen staff by managing the cleanliness and availability of all kitchenware including pots, pans, dinnerware, flatware, and glassware.
As a Kitchen Steward, you will be responsible for upholding the high standards set by the Mainsail franchise, ensuring that all kitchen operations function smoothly. This includes responsibilities such as washing dishes by hand and machine, general cleaning of kitchen equipment and storage areas, basic food preparation tasks, restocking clean supplies, and maintaining a tidy and organized kitchen space. The position requires adherence to health and safety regulations, including proper hand washing, knife safety, and sanitary compliance following SafeStaff standards.
In addition to the operational duties, the Kitchen Steward plays a vital role in supporting banquet events by assisting with plate preparation and ensuring supplies are stocked and organized. Communication with team members is essential to maintain an efficient workflow and to foster a sense of ownership and professionalism within the kitchen and hotel environment.
This role demands physical stamina, including the ability to stand or sit for extended periods, work long hours when necessary, and a capability to handle physically demanding tasks safely and effectively. Mental agility is equally important, as the Kitchen Steward must make quick decisions, manage multiple tasks, work collaboratively with diverse personalities, and maintain confidentiality under pressure.
