Summary
At Golden Ocala we were expected to Clean trash cans occasionally, do pan pickups from the line, scrub metal pots using metal wool, spray piles of plates, that would allow us to take care of the kitchen during operation hours. We had to keep our station clean when possible, and if the carts were dirty clean them multiple times daily. Our stations were to be clean to mostly clean depending on conditions when we left them to go check on other stations.
Run Items between kitchens occasionally as their were three we changed positions during the day to check on and give breaks to other dishwashers.
In addition we functioned as general custodians, using metal wool to scrub the inside box of 4 large ovens and scrub the grills and window doors of varying type, including double ovens, clean the walls behind the machinery where it could be moved, sweep and mop underneath the machinery, clean the above vents, clean around the vent hoods, work with degreaser that itches on skin and burns with cuts. We would haul 9 industrial rubber kitchen mats from the second floor on carts using elevator down to ground floor to spray down on both sides. Dismantling 3 6-configuration stovetops and burners, spraying degreaser in bottom of stovetop and on back and on bottom of top salamander using metal wool, and cloths. At the end of the cleaning day taking out trash and sweeping and mopping the entire kitchen.
And we had 2 more kitchens to clean using 2-4 people at a time, spread across one 3 story high-ceiling country club, and a pool-spa-gym facility's kitchen.
There were 6 mats,

Accomplishments
Golden Ocala was not a chain, it was a singular facility spanning hundreds of acres, and the country-club and spa demanded such high attention that it was regular for dishwashers to formally quit and start a new job.
The Head-Chef, accredited, Chef Rick Alabaugh, acknowledged my efforts and I was chosen as one of few to recieve an extravagant gift in addition to our Christmas Bonus, within only two years he appreciated my contributions, despite only working a brief period there and being part-time
I stayed for 2 years before quitting to resume my education.
