The company is currently hiring for a Porter position, a vital role within their operational team. This is a full-time and part-time hourly non-exempt position, offering a competitive salary ranging from $10.00 to $12.00 per hour. The Porter plays an essential role in maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation of the establishment, specifically focusing on dishes, plates, and utensils. Working closely with the Chef or Supervisor, the Porter ensures that kitchen and dining areas meet the highest health and safety standards. The role requires an individual who is detail-oriented, hardworking, reliable, and committed to helping maintain a clean and safe environment for staff and customers alike.

In this role, the Porter is responsible for the efficient collection of used dishes, the proper loading and operation of washing machines, and the organized stacking and storage of cleaned items. The position also involves ensuring compliance with sanitation procedures throughout the kitchen, including floors, storage areas, and other relevant spaces such as bathrooms and office areas. The Porter is expected to monitor washing equipment to ensure optimal functionality and promptly report any technical or performance issues. Communication is key, as the Porter must inform the Chef or Supervisor proactively about any potential shortages of cleaning supplies to avoid operational disruptions.

This hands-on role requires adherence to proper storage protocols as dictated by Health Department regulations and Common Bond's internal standards. Furthermore, the Porter must maintain a professional restaurant image by upholding cleanliness, appropriate uniforms, and overall appearance standards. Because this job entails standing for extended periods and the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, physical stamina and endurance are important.
