Kitchen Staff Jobs in Novato, CA

The Kitchen Staff are the backbone of the hospitality service industry, responsible for a broad range of duties. They ensure the smooth operation of the kitchen by preparing ingredients, cleaning and sanitizing kitchen equipment, assisting in food preparation, and maintaining stock levels of food and supplies.

Additionally, they might be required to handle customer service related issues, such as taking orders, serving food, and addressing customer complaints.

To excel in this role, Kitchen Staff should possess a number of key skills and certifications. They should have a food handler's certificate, signifying they are trained in food safety practices.
