About this job

At Southern Kitchen, we believe:

“If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

That belief applies to every position in the building — especially this one.

The Dishwasher plays a critical role in delivering a clean, organized, and high-performing kitchen. When this role is done with ownership and pride, the entire restaurant runs better.

This is not just a support role. It is a standards role.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

You are successful here when:

  • The kitchen never runs out of clean plates, pans, or tools.
  • Cooks can focus on food because you protect the flow.
  • Health and safety standards are upheld without shortcuts.
  • The dish area stays organized — even during peak rush.
  • You step in to help before being asked.
  • The back of house feels steady because you are steady.

If the kitchen runs smoothly, it’s because you took ownership.

Your Impact

Ownership of Cleanliness & Safety

You ensure all dishes, glassware, utensils, and equipment are washed, rinsed, and sanitized properly. You maintain floors, surfaces, and waste areas with pride.

You understand that cleanliness is not cosmetic — it protects our guests and our team.

Ownership of Kitchen Flow

During busy service, you move with urgency and focus. You communicate with cooks and teammates to keep everything moving efficiently.

You anticipate needs. You stay organized. You protect momentum.

Ownership of Team Support

You assist with light prep, bussing support, and catering readiness when needed. You contribute to a positive, respectful kitchen culture.

You don’t wait to be told what’s needed — you look for ways to help.

Who Thrives Here
  • Individuals who take pride in behind-the-scenes excellence
  • Team players who understand their work impacts everyone
  • People who work with consistency and urgency
  • Those who value structure, cleanliness, and high standards
  • Self-motivated individuals who show up ready to contribute

Experience is helpful — but reliability, effort, and ownership matter more.

Physical Requirements
  • Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
  • Ability to bend, reach, stoop, and perform repetitive motions
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds regularly
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced kitchen environment with exposure to heat, water, and cleaning products

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.

At Southern Kitchen, we create memorable dining experiences — and that starts with a clean, organized, and disciplined kitchen.

If it is to be, it’s up to me.

If you take pride in doing the job right — even when no one sees it — we want you on our team.

Apply today and be part of what we’re building.
