In this position, your responsibilities will encompass various aspects of food production, serving, and sanitation. You will prepare basic food and beverage items, which includes washing and cutting fruits and vegetables. Additionally, you will be tasked with receiving, organizing, and issuing menu components from coolers, freezers, and dry storage areas. Your role will also involve gathering and assembling both food and non-food items for special events, camps, picnics, bag lunches, and other food orders, as well as labeling and restocking prescribed nutritional supplements. Proficiency in using kitchen tools such as knives, can openers, grinders, scales, food slicers, and toasters will be essential.

If any errors are detected, you will correct them promptly and communicate relevant information regarding tray assembly to your colleagues.
