We are currently recruiting for a full-time Steward to join our dedicated team. This crucial role involves maintaining cleanliness and order in our kitchen and dishwashing areas to ensure a smooth and efficient operation for our culinary teams. The Steward is responsible for promptly and carefully sorting soiled ware so that it can be properly processed through the dish or pot machine, washing and polishing all ware, and ensuring items are returned to their designated storage areas. The position demands physical strength and stamina due to the high level of activity and the need to handle heavy items safely. This role is vital in supporting our kitchen staff by maintaining a clean, organized, and hygienic environment that adheres to hotel standards and health regulations.

In this fast-paced kitchen setting, the Steward will keep dish machines properly cleaned and filled with water, polish silverware to maintain its appearance, and check their station before, during, and after shifts to uphold cleanliness and orderliness. Additional duties include cleaning kettles, tilt skillets, pots, and pans promptly and thoroughly, emptying trash in service areas at designated times, and performing general cleaning tasks to prevent slip and fall accidents. This position also requires separation of linen from other debris and occasional assistance with moving supplies and equipment. The successful applicant must demonstrate the ability to work efficiently in a humid and noisy environment while managing frequent task interruptions with patience, tact, and diplomacy. Holding a valid food handlers' card is essential for compliance with food safety standards.

Beyond the role itself, the Lakefront Anchorage Hotel offers a very competitive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with a 401(k) retirement plan featuring employer contributions. This comprehensive package supports our employees’ overall health and financial security. Those who take pride in maintaining a clean and safe work environment and enjoy working as part of a team will find this position rewarding. We value individuals who exhibit professionalism and a positive attitude in all their interactions with colleagues and management and who contribute to a productive and dynamic workplace culture. Previous stewarding or dishwashing and kitchen cleaning experience is preferred but not required, making this an excellent opportunity for motivated individuals seeking a stable position in the hospitality industry.
