Job Description
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is a premier entertainment destination located in California, offering guests an exceptional experience with top-tier gaming, luxurious accommodations, and an impressive variety of dining options. As part of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians' commitment to excellence and guest satisfaction, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino maintains high standards in all areas of its operation, particularly in its food and beverage services. It is a vibrant hub where culture meets entertainment, providing a dynamic environment for both guests and employees alike. The casino’s dedication to quality service is reflected not only in its gaming and hospitality sectors but also in the meticulous care given to food safety, cleanliness, and the overall maintenance of kitchen environments.
The position of Kitchen Steward at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino plays a critical role in sustaining the high standards of food safety and cleanliness that the casino is known for. This role is essential in ensuring that all kitchen work areas, restaurant equipment, and utensils are maintained in pristine condition. The kitchen steward will be responsible for performing a variety of duties related to deep cleaning and sanitizing kitchen environments, including heavy-duty tasks such as cleaning ovens, fryers, mixers, walk-in coolers, and other critical kitchen equipment. This position demands a keen eye for detail and an unfaltering commitment to hygiene and safety standards.
The role involves close collaboration with the Executive Steward and Stewarding Supervisor, following department policies, and employing safe handling practices for all cleaning chemicals and equipment. Maintaining communication with supervisors, peers, and management is crucial for ensuring smooth kitchen operations. As the kitchen steward, the individual will also assist in areas beyond cleaning, such as sanitation and stocking, and will help maintain loading docks and recycling processes, underscoring the casino’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
This position requires stamina and physical endurance, including prolonged standing and walking, manual dexterity, and the ability to lift heavy objects up to 50 lbs. The job also entails working in conditions that may be exposed to moderate noise levels and second-hand smoke, particularly in the casino and bowling center areas. As the position is on the graveyard shift (3rd shift), the candidate must be adaptable to atypical working hours.
Ensuring that the kitchen environment is clean, safe, and well-maintained is fundamental to the overall guest experience at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. The position does not entail supervisory responsibilities but is integral to the team’s success. Certification in sanitation or food handling is required, emphasizing the importance of knowledge in food safety practices. This role is ideal for individuals who are dedicated to maintaining high standards of cleanliness, possess a strong work ethic, and are eager to contribute to an environment where guest satisfaction is paramount.
