Scullion, Steward
Description
Dishwashers or stewards are responsible for washing the dishes, pots and other kitchen utensils, lending their support to the people who prepare the food and who work in the dining room.
Their working hours are concentrated mainly on the hours of the lunch and dinner service. In the case of the kitchens of large communities, for example, hospitals, their workday is more distributed throughout the working day.
Their tasks include lathering, rubbing and rinsing the items to be cleaned, distributing them for drying and optimally storing them for service needs in the corresponding cabinets or places in the kitchen or dining room. The ability to adapt to the different intensities of the work and maintaining the order are key aspects to carry out this occupation correctly.
