Make sure she gets paid her worth and make sure she eats

Looks like someone deserves to move up, to me! Good work!

The best feeling is having that one coworker who you just “dont know how they do it”. Mine is named Taylor and has saved my ass countless times

His fingernails are probably clean too.
What a pro.

Good on her!
But to be honest, if you’re an organized person and can stay level headed, it’s not too difficult to do this.

I once had a dishwasher that would have her station looking like this all night on fridays and saturdays. To this day I have no idea how she kept up and maintained a positive attitude.

Time management and organizational skills are the keys to the kingdom in any restaurant position/role. Looks like she’s got those both locked the fuck down

She needs to be on the line yesterday.

Work ethic is one thing you can’t teach. 10/10 dishie right there.

people that actually care about their performance will continue to care. let her know her effort doesn’t go unnoticed. keep treating her right. and if you have the type of work environment, ask boss to give her a raise because she clearly deserves it. fight for that dishie cuz damn this is impressive

I once had a dishwasher so good I took a pay cut to pay him more.
Dishwashers and Hosts set the timing of the restaurant and are often treated and paid as less than. That’s a mistake, the person at the door should be extremely clever and great at handling people with professionalism, and should be paid properly for those skills. A good dishwasher is also worth thier weight in gold.

I once worked with a Latino dishwasher like this. Didn’t speak any English. I was the only one who could (barely) talk to him. He was the best dishwasher the place had.

Cleaning as you go is a powerful skill once mastered.

As someone who worked as a dishwasher in a very busy restaurant it’s not hard as long as you aren’t messy and stay organized and clean as you go. Still great work though.

The crap thing with this industry is someone as excellent as she clearly is, won’t get promoted because they would rather keep the dish area this efficient. And even worse they might get loaded with even more duties. You get punished for being too efficient instead of promotion and a raise. Do the right thing by her pls. People like this are actually rare.

The reason why the dishie can keep up is because they don’t get fucked until the rush is over and everyone leaves. During dinner rushes, your number one job is to make sure that the cooks and the servers have everything they need. You know you’re good at your job if no one ever has to ask you for anything because they already have it.

When I washed dishes I knew that no one would yell at me for sitting out back on a crate smoking ciggs if the dishpit looked like that. So I got really good at making it look like that quickly.
Unfortunately the chef took notice and ruined all my plans by moving me to cooking breakfast on the line lmao

Well, not walking out every time you clear the pit is a good start. Staying there to keep the area clean and organized is just the tip of the iceberg when you’re a dishwasher.

I was taught from my first job in a caterer to always, always, always have everything organized and clean. It helped locate things on offsite venues easier .. to the tee. “Back speed rack, 3rd tray up, bus pan full of spoons.” Shorten the time during events to find things. We were working at other venues which loved working with us because we wouldn’t add to their labor afterwards.
Also, the best chef I ever worked for told me the #1 thing he looks for when hiring is looking at their fingernails. This tells him how clean that person is, and their standard on hygiene which, to him, translated to order, punctuality, and respect when handling other people’s food

Ok here’s my story I had a dishwasher once, that everytime I walked past him he had his arms folded and would just nod and say “Hey, boss!” I thought to myself “self, this guy’s not even working! I should send him home and save some labor!” I think he worked for me for another decade and I never sent him home early. Servers, cooks ANYONE else, but not him.. I had to pull a cook to help me and stayed over when night shift came in to get everything caught up.

She’s good at her job.

we have two dishwashers at my current place like this.
One is a super quiet nice younger guy, keeps the pit spotless at all times and is like a kitchen ninja, you hardly notice he’s there even when he’s sweeping the line right behind you.
The other is a bit older and a big hockey fan. Super energetic, always has metal playing in the pit, and always cracking jokes and having a good time with everyone.
They have diametrically opposed personalities but are both great at their jobs.

I’ve gone hard on dish in my past. The right tools, good bussers, and a zone out and bust out mentality.

Would she like to move to Hawaii? I have a high paying offer.

I’d go back to dishpit in a minute if I could make the same or more. Same for packaging line. Super repetitive jobs like that can be very meditative if you stick it out and take them seriously. It’s only rare because the people who are good at it usually move up quick after they get bored and start taking on more responsibilities. It’s how I moved up when I got started. If there are s dishwashers union with structured raise agreement I’d probably still be a dishwasher almost 20yrs later.

Doing your job well makes you look lazy, but you’ve just learned to be efficient
