Every great service starts clean. The mise en place, the plates, the pots that carry the food guests will remember — none of it happens without someone who takes that responsibility seriously. We're looking for that person.
Buon Gusto is a scratch-kitchen Italian restaurant in Guelph where family-inspired recipes meet a team that genuinely looks out for one another. We believe the way we do anything is the way we do everything, and that the best kitchens run on trust, honesty, and people who show up ready to work. We're hiring a dishwasher who understands that the pit isn't the bottom of the kitchen — it's the foundation.
Responsibilities:
- Keep the dish pit organized and running efficiently so the line never waits on clean product
- Wash, sanitize, and return all dishes, smallwares, and cookware to spec and on time
- Maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout your area and across shared kitchen spaces
- Support the BOH team during service by anticipating needs before they become problems
- Assist with basic prep, sweeping, mopping, and end-of-night breakdown so the next crew walks into a clean kitchen
- Communicate openly with your team, flagging low stock or equipment issues early
- Show up ready to move — this role keeps pace with the whole kitchen
Who thrives here: People who take pride in a job done right, even when no one's watching. Team members who understand that a clean, organized kitchen makes everyone better. Anyone who shows up on time, works hard, and leaves their station better than they found it. You don't need years of experience. You do need a strong work ethic, respect for the people beside you, and the kind of attitude that makes a tough service feel manageable.
