Worked as a Dishwasher and a line kitchen prep. Kept the food plates moving along the line from the chefs to the waitresses/waiters. Kept the dishwashing area clean and kept cleaning dishes using both a dishwashing machine and manual hand washing to keep dishes that were being dropped off by the bus crew flowing through the cleaning process and brought back to the line preps. Helped prep food for the the evening and helped clean the kitchen after shut down.
