What Does a Dishwasher Do?
Dishwashers work in kitchens at restaurants, hotels and cafes to clean and sanitize dishes so that Cooks and Servers have the supplies they need to prepare food and serve it to customers. Dishwashers follow through dishwashing procedures to fully sanitize each dish according to health and safety standards. They sort dishes in the dish pit into different categories, spray down each tray of dishes and either scrub them by hand or place them into an industrial dishwasher. Dishwashers are in charge of changing each load of dishes at the right time to efficiently wash multiple loads of dishes.
