These establishments serve a broad spectrum of cuisines and experiences, catering to a wide variety of travelers passing through one of the busiest airports in the United States. As a company focused on delivering exceptional food service and customer satisfaction, SSP America prides itself on maintaining the highest standards for cleanliness, safety, and hospitality within its restaurants and retail units throughout the airport.
This particular role is for a Utility team member, a crucial position within the SSP America team dedicated to maintaining impeccable cleanliness and sanitation across all restaurant outlets in the airport.

As a Utility team member, the individual's responsibilities include deep cleaning and sanitizing all work surfaces, floors, kitchen equipment, dining areas, and storage spaces to uphold the strictest hygiene standards.

The role also involves waste management duties such as removing refuse and ensuring designated disposal areas are maintained properly. An important aspect of the job is customer interaction, assisting guests with any specific requests and communicating any special needs to servers or supervisors to enhance the overall dining experience.
Additionally, Utilities will handle tasks such as clearing and resetting tables swiftly during busy dining periods, scrapping food from dishes and pots, loading dishwashers, and returning clean items to their proper places. Stock management is also part of the role, requiring team members to date, rotate, and check the temperature of food items regularly to comply with food safety regulations. Utilities must be capable of physical tasks that involve standing for long periods and working in confined spaces, indicating that physical stamina and flexibility are important for success.
In conclusion, being a Utility at SSP America means joining a dynamic and fast-paced environment where cleanliness and guest experience are top priorities.
