A Day in the Life of a Mess Attendant/Food Service Worker at CW Resources:

• Start the day by cleaning dishes using large commercial dishwashing machines. Heavily soiled pots and pans are scrubbed by hand to get them spotless.
  
  
  
  • Sort dirty dishes from different service areas, give them a quick rinse, and load them properly into the machine, following all health and safety rules.
  
  
  • Clean dishes are sanitized and put away in their proper spots, ready for the next meal.
  
  
  • Keep work areas clean—sweep and mop the floors, wipe down surfaces, and clear away any food scraps to maintain a safe and tidy kitchen.
  
  
  • Take out the trash and recyclables from dining, kitchen, and dishwashing zones. Replace trash liners and follow proper disposal rules.
  
  
  • Reset the dining area between meals—wipe down tables, refill condiments, stock napkins, and make sure everything looks clean and welcoming.
  
  
  • Help with food service setup—stock utensils, trays, and kitchen supplies. Set up the tray line when needed.
  
  
  • Follow instructions from the supervisor to ensure all kitchen and dining areas meet safety and cleanliness standards.
