We’re building a small kitchen team and looking for a porter who cares about cleanliness, organization, pace, and doing things the right way. This is a hands on position for someone who takes pride in keeping a kitchen clean, organized, and running smoothly.
The focus of the role is supporting daily kitchen operations. Keeping dishes moving, maintaining a clean workspace, staying ahead of the needs of the kitchen, and helping the team stay organized through prep and service.
