What does a Dishwasher do?

If your workplace requires the dishwashers to wear gloves, then yes. But even if there is no policy on wearing gloves, it is recommended for a number of reasons. Wearing gloves protects the dishes from dirt that might be on your hands or under your nails. Also, gloves protect your hands from the hot water and detergents you need to use. If you have allergy concerns with rubber gloves, speak to your employer and find out what options are available to you.

Your hiring manager should explain your kitchen duties when you start work. Aside from washing dishes, the dishwasher is typically responsible for the general cleanliness of the kitchen. This includes scrubbing work surfaces, appliances and floors. You might also be asked to bus tables.

Dishwashing is usually an entry-level job, but it is one of the most important jobs in a restaurant. Bad sanitation can put a restaurant out of business. As the dishwasher, you are helping the restaurant maintain the high standard of cleanliness it needs to successfully operate.
