Responsibilities
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Complete assigned daily food and supply deliveries between the East Hanover kitchen and school locations safely and on time.
Safely load, transport, and unload prepared meals, snacks, food containers, and supplies.
Ensure orders and deliveries are accurate before leaving the kitchen and upon arrival.
Follow appropriate food-handling and sanitation practices during transportation.
Communicate immediately regarding traffic delays, vehicle problems, accidents, or other issues that could affect scheduled deliveries.
Return food containers, equipment, and other materials to the kitchen as assigned.
Complete basic food preparation, including chopping, dicing, blending, and similar tasks.
Assist with unpacking and storing grocery deliveries.
Support the Kitchen Lead with daily food preparation and operational needs.
Maintain a clean and organized kitchen environment.
Sweep, mop, sanitize surfaces, wash dishes, take out trash, and assist with other cleaning responsibilities as needed.

Must be dependable, punctual, and able to consistently report to work as scheduled.
Must be able to follow instructions and work effectively as part of a team.
Basic kitchen experience preferred.
Basic knife skills required.
Must be able to lift at least 50 pounds.
Must be able to remain on your feet for the majority of the shift.
Must maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary work environment.
