Dishwasher

Position: Dishwasher

Location: Upscale Korean BBQ in Ktown, Manhattan

Position Type: Full-Time / Part-Time

We are looking for a fast, reliable, and detail-oriented Dishwasher to join our back-of-house team. At Baekjeong, dishwashing goes beyond standard plates and cutlery—you will be responsible for handling heavy-duty tabletop grill grates, hot stone pots (dolsot), banchan ramekins, and kitchen cookware.

You will work in a fast-paced, wet environment to keep clean equipment flowing to the line cook team and clean tableware stocked for front-of-house service.

• Grill & Heavy Duty Cleaning: Safely clean, scrub, and de-grease Baekjeong’s specialized tabletop grill plates, cast-iron pans, and hot stone pots using appropriate soaking solutions and high-temperature dish machines.
• Standard Dishwashing: Operate the commercial dishwasher to wash, sanitize, and dry all dishware, glassware, flatware, and banchan bowls.
• Sorting & Stocking: Organize and return clean cookware to kitchen stations and clean tableware to server stations efficiently without breaking items.
• BOH Sanitation: Maintain a clean, dry, and safe dish pit area; regularly sweep, mop, drain standing water, and clear trash/food scrap bins.
• Kitchen Support: Assist line cooks and prep cooks with light utility tasks, chemical inventory checks, and shift setup/breakdown as needed.
• Health & Safety Compliance: Strictly follow local health department codes, chemical safety guidelines (OSHA/HAZCOM), and food safety practices.

• Experience: Prior dishwashing or kitchen utility experience in a high-volume restaurant preferred (Korean BBQ or Asian concept experience is a strong plus).
• Stamina & Physical Ability:
• Ability to lift, push, and carry heavy loads (up to 50 lbs), including heavy metal grill plates and bus tubs.
• Ability to stand, bend, stoop, and reach continuously for 6–8 hours in a hot, humid environment.
• Speed & Focus: Ability to maintain speed and composure during high-volume peak dinner rushes.
• Schedule Flexibility: Willingness to work nights, weekends, and holidays.
• Team First Attitude: Strong work ethic, reliable attendance, and open communication with kitchen leadership and service staff.

• Competitive hourly pay
• Flexible scheduling options
• Opportunities for growth within the kitchen team
• Employee discount when dining off-shift
