The company emphasizes creating a positive, fun workplace culture that attracts employees who are passionate about food and hospitality, while also maintaining high standards of service and cleanliness.

The role of Utility Team Member at Torchy's is multifaceted and essential to the seamless functioning of the restaurant. The position combines responsibilities of both busser and dishwasher, placing the individual in a critical support role that upholds the restaurant’s commitment to cleanliness, safety, and guest satisfaction. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining a visibly immaculate dining area, assisting in pre-bussing tables, managing trash collection, and addressing spills as soon as they occur, all to ensure a pleasant atmosphere for customers. Your duties also extend to cleaning windows and entrances, sanitizing service areas, restocking beverage stations, and helping keep highchairs and trash cans clean and well stocked.

As a dishwasher, you will keep all kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and dishware sanitized and organized, helping maintain the efficiency of kitchen operations.
