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 RoleYou 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 ImpactOwnership 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.

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.
