KITCHEN SUPPORT — CLOSING SHIFT WHAT YOU'LL DO • Support the line during service — restocking, portioning, running food, and stepping in wherever the kitchen needs hands, • Handle basic prep: chopping, portioning, labeling, and rotating product (FIFO), • Keep dishes, utensils, and equipment washed, sanitized, and put away, • Maintain a clean and sanitized kitchen, dish area, and dining room throughout the shift, • Own end-of-night closing: deep cleaning, breaking down stations, trash removal, and full reset for the morning, • Stock and restock supplies so the opening team walks into a ready kitchen, • Follow all food safety and sanitation guidelines, • Secure the restaurant at close — lights, equipment, doors, • Complete cleaning checklists and closing logs accurately WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE • Strong work ethic and pride in a clean, organized kitchen, • Reliability and trustworthiness — closing shifts run on it, • Willingness to learn prep and line stations; we'll train you, • Ability to work quickly and stay steady during dinner rush, • Preferably 21+, • Strong communication skills in the restaurant's primary language(s), • Availability for evening/closing shifts, • Prior restaurant or kitchen experience (preferred) WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU • Free meals during your shift, • Competitive pay, • Flexible scheduling, • Growth opportunities — most of our managers started as Crew, • A supportive team where your work matters One thing worth deciding before you post: the "growth opportunities" line lands harder if the posting says what the next step actually is — prep cook, line, then shift lead. Candidates who want a career path respond to a named ladder; candidates who just want closing hours ignore it either way.
