- As a dishwasher at The Cheesecake Factory, there are five main positions within the dish pit.
- The first position is the quickest to learn and is typically assigned to new employees. The main responsibility is to retrieve two carts with empty plate bins, take them to the front of the restaurant, and exchange them for two carts filled with dirty dishes. Once back, you organize the plates in bins to prepare them for washing.
- The second position is arguably the most challenging. It involves operating the dish machine, loading dirty plates into bins, and washing larger items such as pots, utensils, and cups. Most importantly, it requires taking the machine apart for cleaning. The machine has two sides, and each side contains five removable pieces that must be taken out in order to clean it properly. After spraying down all the pieces, the machine is reassembled and turned back on for use.
- The third position involves receiving the clean dishes from the other end of the machine and organizing them onto clean carts.
- The fourth position is responsible for taking those clean carts to the front of the restaurant and properly organizing the clean dishes for use.
- The fifth position focuses on retrieving dirty pans from two separate kitchen drop-off points, scrubbing them clean, and then placing the cleaned pans onto a cart to be returned to the chefs for reuse. Applied fine motor skills and hand precision daily while handling sharp utensils, fragile bakeware, and delicate pastry components, ensuring consistent quality and presentation.
