What is one way that I can speed up my dishwashing in a restaurant? We have a setup much like that and right now I am scrubbing the dishes in soapy water, then rinsing them, then running them through the sanitizer.
I found the most efficient way to wash them, with the least amount of scrubbing to be as follows: (This assumes you have 3 sinks and the sanitizer machine is on the right-hand side of the sinks) At the start of the shift fill both the left and right sinks with hot soapy water, use extra soap in the left sink and leave the center sink empty. Fill the left sink with water first and then while the right sink is filling with water, fill the left sink with dirty dishes, do not worry about scraping or spraying them, just place them in the soapy water as-is. Once the right sink is filled with fresh hot soapy water the dishes in the left sink will have had some time to soak, pull them out individually and spray them off into the center sink and place them in the right sink. Once you have filled the right sink, refill the left sink with dirty dishes to soak. Wash the dishes in the right sink, it should be much easier as nearly all the food residue has disolved, many of the dishes will only need a quick wipe, I personally prefer to use a tea towel however sometimes a scotch brite pad is useful. Place dishes in tray for sanitizing as you wash them and run the sanitizer as the trays fill. Once the right sink is empty, the left sink will have had plenty of time to soak and repeat from the part where you spray the dishes and put them in the right sink. As you go throughout the shift, you will want to use a strainer of some kind to swish through the water to pull out food residue, this will make the water last much longer. Adding additional hot water and soap occasionally will also go a long way. Another thing that will help a lot is to add a bit of chlorine bleach to the soaking sink, just be careful not to mix it with any ammonia-based cleaners or degreaser.
I'm going to say probably.. I expect that it might be a little bit overkill to be honest however where I worked they just let me do what I wanted and did not have any guidelines, they assumed I knew what I was doing and didn't have anything to say in training other than 'make sure everything goes through the sanitizer' After a few days they did tell me I was the best dishwasher they had 😅
I use scraper blades for the heaviest of the soiled dishes, works like a charm but it takes some practice edit: I work at a small scale retaurant, I used to work higher capacity ones and oh boy, the soap is barely enough for the greasiest of dishes
Cool vid, I work as a dishwasher myself, one of the most important positions in the restaurant and also least appreciated, it’s a job anyone can do honestly but a tough job and one that wears out ppl. I understand why ppl would quit, it can be really hard at times and not really many people want to do a job that leaves you wet and dirty I worked at a high volume place before, and what I can tell you is it can be hectic, but having a good attitude, staying calm, and being self motivated is one of the best things you can do working as a dishwasher. When you think you aren’t able to make it out a busy day, I would say find a way or make one to see things to a finish. Finding courage that you thought you didn’t have before is a worthy discovery. Consistency is key also 😉 I’m glad to work as one, cause I feel at least having this job is better than no job at all and I get paid for it
Been doing this shit 4 years you all will get there If you want too. I’m 19 and dropped out of highschool doing yalld job since 16 and I’m about to be 20 if I can do it this long y’all can do it too
People see respect in dishwashers. This busser I knew, she was a women that made fun of me for being one. She said “maybe I’ll be a dishwasher for my entire life.” When she wasn’t being one. But after my day off, I was the only morning dishwasher. She saw how much dishes stack up in one morning in her shift. She changed, began to respect me because how can I handle all those dishes by myself?
@pubgmobileuser1663 honestly I'm a chilis dishwasher who gets put on Friday and Saturday nights because I actually clean the dishes properly and do it quickly too. Usually 4 pm-1 am is my time frame but good lord as soon as I walk in it's stacked with dishes so I grind through them, I change the water, take out trash, spot sweep. Then it's onto the kitchen and getting these black pans that are put in a presoak due to them having hardened burnt cheese on them. These pans can really stack up and you need to scrape the shit outta them. Then you have the preps dishes and those can be time consuming because they give you a lot of pans to clean too.

And somehow we know everything that goes on in the establishment, like the counselor that everyone comes too. It can be a fun job

At 3:25 I added a bucket of water that has a high concentration of soap. Overall, the sink already has a significant amount of soap in it so the water does not need to be replaced very often. I added fresh water and cleaned the sink at the beginning of the video. It would be a waste of water and soap to replace it more often than that. This is only a small section of a full shift, later I would skim food particles and continue. It's normal to change the water once or twice in an 8 hour shift. Any more than that is a waste of resources.
@@NathanaelNewton I am asking cuz i started to work in a restaurant my self with average amount of 150~ dinners per night in a ~6hour shift. But i am running into two problems pretty consistently, i in a need to replace the water fairly often and near end of the shift i get over burdened with dishes, so much so that i need two more people to help me out (before they said that they dont need three to do all that, me alone should be plenty capable) and now i am in awkward position since i am not sure where my practice is wrong(I am sure it is). One thing i did noticed you fill the water and soap to full while i only fill it 1/3 maybe that is the reason why i need to replace water often. Care to share some of the tips that you might have for my problem, my setup is not similar to yours but it is pretty close. Thanks.

I just got hired for a pub and grill for a dishwasher and I go in for training tomorrow( training for dishwashing lol) so I wanted like a preview of sorts. Thanks
@@NathanaelNewton one day down. It was fun as fuck and everyone there was so chill. Tbh the worst part is closing cause ALL the dishes need washed and cutting boards need bleached. Thanks for showing me what to do cause it was literally the same thing. Thanks bro👍✌️
Most videos seem to show separate areas for the dirty dishes and the clean dishes. The racks pass through the Hobart and come out the other side and the clean stuff is kept away from the dirty side.
@@NathanaelNewton It’s been 6 months since I got the job and ur absolutely correct. While it hasn’t been an issue yet I can see it possibly being a issu
number 1 tip - is be sociable and freindly to staff, obviously not too sociable to a point where your not doing your job, but defiantly get to know your staff and communicate well with your staff
I’m going to start washing dishes soon wish me luck! EDIT:okay so its been abt 2 years now its literally been so long that im trans now, i fucking love my job, all i can say is washing dishes is not the same thing as this video every kitchen will be diff and it wont help watching someone (although great job those dishes look amazing) im now a prep cook that helps out the dishes with anything they need lmao, but just get ready cause kitchen life is insane. if you wanna watch some more kitchen content i recomend Drew Talbert he is amazing! anyways enjoy being the backbone of the resturant. Love you all!
This might be a stupid question but I’m a dishwasher and I use scrubbing pads and steel with and we have hard plastic containers and no matter how hard I try to spray or get the residue of like food residue in never seems to come off any tips ?
Yes, use a sponge where you first clean with the rough scrub side (with soap). Rinse the container. Again, add soap on the soft non scratchy side and rinse. If it still has some oily residue left, repeat the last step again with soap and the soft side of the sponge.
At the beginning of the shift yes, that's why there are three sinks. If you do it correctly you don't have to change the water, just add more hot and use the skimmer. Also keep in mind that all the dishes are run through a sanitation cycle on the left after washing off all the debris and oil.
It takes practice but you get a flow to the way you work and then everything goes a lot better. It helps to tell the other people at work where you want them to put the dishes so that they do not flood you with stuff, dirty your clean water etc.
That is a type of basket drain strainer, it allows you to empty water from the sink without clogging it, makes it a lot easier to use and keeps the drain from filling with debris.
Does anyone have any tips for like you’re hands afterwards? I wash dishes and my hands get all fucked up like I wear gloves but the always slide down so I’m wondering if I need longer gloves but even then water still gets in them and make my hands wet the whole time. I know it’s probably impossible not to get your hand wet but what about after work any thing to use? I’ve been just using lotion.
@@NathanaelNewton well there is higher strength vinegar, though i dont know if that speeds up the reaction. what chemicals would you use for burnt crust on a pan?
There is nothing ultrasonic happening here, it's just water and chemicals.. there is a sprayer bar inside the sanitation machine that is similar to a dishwasher
You want to have an assembly line type of system where the stuff with stuck on food is left in a soaking / rinsing sink for a while. On the right of this video (my left) there's a third sink with the dirtiest of stuff sitting in it.
@@NathanaelNewton hey man, been a while for me to respond again... wanted to tell you that i have a working interview tomorrow ! The place specializes in pizzas, but they are primarily known for their beers. I don't drink alcohol (only coffee Lol) but i hope it turns into a full gig for me after tomorrow. here to watch your video again. wish me luck, eh ?
@@value_your_inputs That's great! I'm happy It went well for you, coincidentally, I had my first meeting of my new job today.. I can't say too much about it due to NDA, but I'm excited and it should be pretty easy for me 😌 as well as work from home with my own computer!
I work at mods for 2 years I’m still dish washer cause I enjoyed it I’m pretty fast with it is one of the most busier restraunt I ever work weekand is my favorite to work on dishes I work 4 days straight
at first i thought dishwashing would be some low end job but its actually quite rewarding because you are actually keeping the restaurant moving. But i am really envious of your setup here. The place i work has no tray space for the washer so the tray sits over my only sink D:< And left of my sink is where the waiter puts everything which is the only large area :( I also envy your over head faucet, mine is just some stupid metal pipe that blocks everything, sigh. Also i got wrist pains just 4 days in the job, any tips to cope with that. The plates and really heavy.
It's true! See what happens when the dining room runs out of silverware (or coffee cups) and you'll find out real fast just how important the dish washer is 😂
@@NathanaelNewton true, plus idk if its just me but staff always ask the dishwashers for the most favors, every second im having to clean tables or take out the trash, when my job is to just clean dishes ffs 😂
That's Likely.. they have a Hobart mixer too.. ruclips.net/video/ZCX6Y39ATRg/видео.html I rinsed them to remove food debris to reduce how often I have to change the dishwater
Yes, it depends on how dirty the dishes are, when you get better at it you don't have to change it as often because you remove most of the food debris and grease in the pre-wash sink. I usually change it once it either gets too cold or dirty.
I don't like wearing gloves because I use my hands to feel if the plates are clean. Most days I'm fine but on Sundays (our busiest day) my hands usually get pretty damaged. Some easy ways to keep your hands safe are to wrap metal scourers with a cloth so you're not scraping your skin off as well as the grease, also moisturising can help.
I recently got a job at a local restaurant as a dishwasher and after 2 days I already hate it. Note: im in high school and currently a sophomore There’s typically 2 different things I can do as a dishwasher. I can put them away, plates, cups and other certain utensils in places they need to go. It’s super hard on my back and sometimes you have to drag a large cart of plates to another area of the kitchen to put them away which is already a hard task itself. The other half would be actually rinsing and loading silverware and dishes into racks and sending them through a large dishwasher. You get messy but it’s not as hard on your back however you have to work pretty quick because of how many people eat there and not knowing much about it can be super stressful. I can work weekends from 4 pm to 11 pm since I don’t have to worry about waking up early, however im worried that if I’m scheduled to work a weekday that they make me work until 11 as I need to wake up at 6 to prepare myself for school. The worst part about it that really stresses me out is the fact that if it’s a really busy day they might make me stay until way later. I actually had my wisdom teeth removed earlier this week so I really shouldn’t be starting to work anyways. It’s not a horrible job though. I feel like I’ll just need some time to get used to it before im fully comfortable working there. For $12/hr for 3 days a week isn’t bad at all, especially for my age.
I feel you. I just started working as a utilities worker at a bakery as my first job a few days ago and it's def very fast paced and physical work. I just turned eighteen and graduated high school so I think it's a good starting job but tiring for sure.
That's a hard situation to be in, school is super important don't let them take advantage of you.. I guess you mean $12 us dollars? Where I live in Ontario minimum wages 15.50 or 14.60 for students.. I don't understand why it's okay to pay students less..
@@NathanaelNewton so I actually talked with the head manager of the kitchen about anxiety, stress, and about how I’ve had lots of breakdowns since I started working there because it was a new environment and luckily enough my boss is actually a human being who can realize what’s going on. He told me that I’m not the only one who has had these kinds of struggles and he welcomed me to work only Saturday’s, typically for 8 hours (3:00 to 11:00) which not only gives me the time to focus and study for school but I can still participate in the activities I used to before whether that be spending time with my family or attending school dances. $96 bucks before taxes every 2 weeks is not bad for my age at all and I am very thankful to work in such an environment where people are kind and helpful
@@chegathonk that's amazing! The boss there sounds like a wonderful person, I'm happy to hear that you've been able to get a better balance and improve your mental health, good luck with everything in the future!
No shade to the employee here. You are doing a fine job. I can't believe this setup is allowed and\or workable in a restaurant. It should not be okay to bring a clean tray back out to the dirty side. It looks like this is a corner unit. There could\should be another door on this machine and a landing area 90° from your sink following the other wall. This allows the dishes travel in a single direction. This not only prevents contamination but logjamming your work area and shuffling things around that are going in and coming out of that machine. I do sort of prefer the soapy sink area though. You'd have to change the water often. But it's a little more peaceful experience than the hose. The hose is fun but in the wrong hands it's just chaos.
I'm a new dishwasher was suppose to be a prep cook but I guess a favorite wanted to do that so I'm stuck with this but I don't care. So there are some machines that already do the sanitize so I just have to do everything before that just like you're doing in the video?
The kitchen manager I have now told me to "just dunk the silverware in the soapy water, spray it off, then dunk it in saniatizer like wtf???? Then put it out Gross. ButbI hand wash it just letting him get upset over it because that's just nasty. Like this is my 4th dish washing job, I am pretty sure I know wth I'm doing.
How many days a week do you do this? 14 hours is quite long, they better be paying you for all of your hours and any overtime. Companies will try to take advantage of people your age because you don't know what your rights are, it's very important that you try to protect yourself and make sure that no one is mistreating you because they will try.
***Don’t do it! Most restaurants have kitchens with toxic people; careless management; ONE dishwasher employee (you); and hard work will never be noticed!***
@@NathanaelNewton I can see that... Im just saying that in my experience doing them as they come in is a futile action... If your pre washing before the machine you might as well utilize that 3 part sink... Put your wash in the middle the last sink should be used to stack matching dishes so you get a flush rack... I once found an abandoned baby in my dish tub...
@@pendejo312 the abandoned baby is a multistage training senario involving a series of ever more realistic babies placed into the dishwashers realm... First its a tiny plastic baby figurine in a glass... Before you know it its a life like replica baby used in film... The idea is to gauge the dishwashers ability to spot non dish related debris... One day its a wedding ring that gets thrown out...the next its Someones baby....

'Sanitize according to guidelines' is the important part..
Im gonna get a part time job as a dishwasher in a restaurant kinda exiting and nervous🙈💕thx for sharing:3
It's a great part time job, usually low stress, fast paced and such. I recommend it for sure!
Clean everything and learn how to pass the health inspection audit every six months. Ask your manager for the monthly cleaning tasks for the audits, and if there isn't one, make one. Identify cleaning processes that should be added to give a better guest experience. Identify maintenance issues and always provide solutions for every problem. Show you can train others and correct them when they cut corners. Organize and detail every corner of the restaurant as if it were your business. Maintain a great attitude with no anger and boost the morale of all employees with zero drama. Figure out how to support your colleagues and support them every night, making their jobs less stressful. Learn all aspects of the restaurant so you can be called to the front of the house to serve drinks or make sandwiches during a busy rush. Ask for a massive raise and a new title. Head Dishwasher.
Pretty cool! My restaurant that I'm working is extremely fast paced along with broken equipment that the management would fix last. I envy You.
This restaurant was ok, I've moved on to other things but definitely 'ain't much but it's honest work'
What if all 3 sinks are full of dishes like they usually are
Haha then you have to remove them and pile them on the floor until you have room 🤣
Honestly bro just do your best at maintaining a good pace. At my job I give myself resets so everything is organized the way I need it to work then I'll clear everything!! If you got any questions lmk, I'm the best/faster at my job, been doing it for 4 years
@@Ricanson21 I feel like I'm slow :(
Never noticed that you replace the water or that you add more soap, does it constantly fill back up or is there something that i might be missing?
At 3:25 I added a bucket of water that has a high concentration of soap. Overall, the sink already has a significant amount of soap in it so the water does not need to be replaced very often. I added fresh water and cleaned the sink at the beginning of the video. It would be a waste of water and soap to replace it more often than that.
This is only a small section of a full shift, later I would skim food particles and continue. It's normal to change the water once or twice in an 8 hour shift. Any more than that is a waste of resources.
@@NathanaelNewton I am asking cuz i started to work in a restaurant my self with average amount of 150~ dinners per night in a ~6hour shift. But i am running into two problems pretty consistently, i in a need to replace the water fairly often and near end of the shift i get over burdened with dishes, so much so that i need two more people to help me out (before they said that they dont need three to do all that, me alone should be plenty capable) and now i am in awkward position since i am not sure where my practice is wrong(I am sure it is).
One thing i did noticed you fill the water and soap to full while i only fill it 1/3 maybe that is the reason why i need to replace water often.
Care to share some of the tips that you might have for my problem, my setup is not similar to yours but it is pretty close. Thanks.
I wrote this for another person who had a similar question.
I found the most efficient way to wash them, with the least amount of scrubbing to be as follows:
(This assumes you have 3 sinks and the sanitizer machine is on the right-hand side of the sinks)
At the start of the shift fill both the left and right sinks with hot soapy water, use extra soap in the left sink and leave the center sink empty.
Fill the left sink with water first and then while the right sink is filling with water, fill the left sink with dirty dishes, do not worry about scraping or spraying them, just place them in the soapy water as-is.
Once the right sink is filled with fresh hot soapy water the dishes in the left sink will have had some time to soak, pull them out individually and spray them off into the center sink and place them in the right sink.
Once you have filled the right sink, refill the left sink with dirty dishes to soak.
Wash the dishes in the right sink, it should be much easier as nearly all the food residue has dissolved, many of the dishes will only need a quick wipe, I personally prefer to use a tea towel however sometimes a scotch brite pad is useful.
Place dishes in tray for sanitizing as you wash them and run the sanitizer as the trays fill.
Once the right sink is empty, the left sink will have had plenty of time to soak and repeat from the part where you spray the dishes and put them in the right sink.
As you go throughout the shift, you will want to use a strainer of some kind to swish through the water to pull out food residue, this will make the water last much longer. Adding additional hot water and soap occasionally will also go a long way. Another thing that will help a lot is to add a bit of chlorine bleach to the soaking sink, just be careful not to mix it with any ammonia-based cleaners or degreaser.
What do I do on a busy weekend washing dishes ?
I just got hired for a pub and grill for a dishwasher and I go in for training tomorrow( training for dishwashing lol) so I wanted like a preview of sorts. Thanks
You got this 👍 💪
@@NathanaelNewton one day down. It was fun as fuck and everyone there was so chill. Tbh the worst part is closing cause ALL the dishes need washed and cutting boards need bleached. Thanks for showing me what to do cause it was literally the same thing. Thanks bro👍✌️
Most videos seem to show separate areas for the dirty dishes and the clean dishes. The racks pass through the Hobart and come out the other side and the clean stuff is kept away from the dirty side.
As a woman i enjoyed this thoroughly ☺️
What do you mean by that?
I’m 14 and might start working as a dishwasher any tips.
Make sure that it doesn't effect your school, you DO NOT want to be doing this your whole life D:

Fellow dishwasher myself at Golden Corral I’m 16 what’s some great tips to help me get through “First Job, 3rd day”
number 1 tip - is be sociable and freindly to staff, obviously not too sociable to a point where your not doing your job, but defiantly get to know your staff and communicate well with your staff
I agree
I’m going to start washing dishes soon wish me luck!
EDIT:okay so its been abt 2 years now its literally been so long that im trans now, i fucking love my job, all i can say is washing dishes is not the same thing as this video every kitchen will be diff and it wont help watching someone (although great job those dishes look amazing) im now a prep cook that helps out the dishes with anything they need lmao, but just get ready cause kitchen life is insane. if you wanna watch some more kitchen content i recomend Drew Talbert he is amazing! anyways enjoy being the backbone of the resturant. Love you all!
Good luck 👍💓

This might be a stupid question but I’m a dishwasher and I use scrubbing pads and steel with and we have hard plastic containers and no matter how hard I try to spray or get the residue of like food residue in never seems to come off any tips ?
Yes, use a sponge where you first clean with the rough scrub side (with soap). Rinse the container. Again, add soap on the soft non scratchy side and rinse. If it still has some oily residue left, repeat the last step again with soap and the soft side of the sponge.
paano po mag apply ng dishwasher? payag po ako kahit weekly ang sahod kahit mababa lang ang sahod ok lang po
I started working part time as a dishwasher. We don’t have a 3 sink, but they use a tub. Until I was this video I never knew why it’s there.
Do you ever change the water ?
At the beginning of the shift yes, that's why there are three sinks. If you do it correctly you don't have to change the water, just add more hot and use the skimmer. Also keep in mind that all the dishes are run through a sanitation cycle on the left after washing off all the debris and oil.
@@NathanaelNewton how do you manage to do this correctly?
It takes practice but you get a flow to the way you work and then everything goes a lot better. It helps to tell the other people at work where you want them to put the dishes so that they do not flood you with stuff, dirty your clean water etc.
what's that little metal thing with holes you put in the sink at around 0:36?
That is a type of basket drain strainer, it allows you to empty water from the sink without clogging it, makes it a lot easier to use and keeps the drain from filling with debris.
I'm 14 and thinking of getting a job washing dishes at a restaurant. now I'm thinking "think of what your getting yourself into!"
Haha, true that 🤣
Not all dishwashing setups are the same, this one is on the lower-tech side of things. Some are much more automatic.
@@NathanaelNewton yeah.
@@NathanaelNewton well I'm an expert at it. And I'll be making lots of money.

Any tips for someone who's works at a place who doesn't have a sanitizer machine or dishwasher
Use lots and lots of chlorine bleach or hydrogen peroxide.. actually though, you probably shouldn't work there
Man this looks eerily similar to my workplace.
Does anyone have any tips for like you’re hands afterwards? I wash dishes and my hands get all fucked up like I wear gloves but the always slide down so I’m wondering if I need longer gloves but even then water still gets in them and make my hands wet the whole time. I know it’s probably impossible not to get your hand wet but what about after work any thing to use? I’ve been just using lotion.
I put on petroleum jelly on both my hands every night before bed, along with lotion when I can throughout the day, and I’ve seen a big improvement
im not a dishwasher but have you tried vinegar for soaking?
In a commercial environment, weak things like that are a waste of time
@@NathanaelNewton well there is higher strength vinegar, though i dont know if that speeds up the reaction. what chemicals would you use for burnt crust on a pan?
How this stuff is working? It is really by ultrasonic or there is also a motor that spins the unit?
There is nothing ultrasonic happening here, it's just water and chemicals.. there is a sprayer bar inside the sanitation machine that is similar to a dishwasher
You probably won't see this but, let's say there's food still stuck in the dishes, is there a more productive way washing them?
You want to have an assembly line type of system where the stuff with stuck on food is left in a soaking / rinsing sink for a while. On the right of this video (my left) there's a third sink with the dirtiest of stuff sitting in it.
I might be starting this, let see how it goes😐
You can do it! Good luck 👍
this video reminds me of a job i had washing dishes in a pizza place during the pandemic. I'm looking for a new one now, wish me luck.
Good luck! Funny you should mention, this video was filmed during the pandemic 😅

I work at mods for 2 years I’m still dish washer cause I enjoyed it I’m pretty fast with it is one of the most busier restraunt I ever work weekand is my favorite to work on dishes I work 4 days straight
WHEW!!!! Made me wore out just watching this!
I wish I could have recorded the whole thing.. This was maybe one out of six hours
I need a machine like that to rinse my dishes. That would make washing dishes go so much faster and not to mention cleaner
How many hour you work per day?
Between 8 and 12, but I don't work in the restaurant industry anymore, I switched to devops/IT -- the pay is like 5 to 10 times better
at first i thought dishwashing would be some low end job but its actually quite rewarding because you are actually keeping the restaurant moving.
But i am really envious of your setup here. The place i work has no tray space for the washer so the tray sits over my only sink D:< And left of my sink is where the waiter puts everything which is the only large area :(
I also envy your over head faucet, mine is just some stupid metal pipe that blocks everything, sigh.
Also i got wrist pains just 4 days in the job, any tips to cope with that. The plates and really heavy.
It's true! See what happens when the dining room runs out of silverware (or coffee cups) and you'll find out real fast just how important the dish washer is 😂
@@NathanaelNewton but that wouldnt happen cause we got them covered xD
Oh yea 😎
@@NathanaelNewton true, plus idk if its just me but staff always ask the dishwashers for the most favors, every second im having to clean tables or take out the trash, when my job is to just clean dishes ffs 😂
The dishwasher is usually the runner and the doer of everything unhappy and boring and dirty and grimy and all that 😂
Thanks
I'm not sure why, but okay you're welcome
Hobart dishwasher and you didn't need to rinse them off just put the soap in there and just let it run through the whole cycle
That's Likely.. they have a Hobart mixer too.. ruclips.net/video/ZCX6Y39ATRg/видео.html
I rinsed them to remove food debris to reduce how often I have to change the dishwater
Do we have to change the water? And if it is so, how often?
Yes, it depends on how dirty the dishes are, when you get better at it you don't have to change it as often because you remove most of the food debris and grease in the pre-wash sink.
I usually change it once it either gets too cold or dirty.
@@NathanaelNewtonu change it when it gets dirty
Is being a Dishwasher good for Scoliosis ? 🤔
I'm not sure about that.. I kind of think no, but you might want to ask a doctor and not me..
I doubt it 😂
Oh wow
thats what i say every time I look at the viewcount on this video lol
Do gloves come with the job??? Seems I may have to buy my own🙁
depends on the restaurant haha, most don't in my experience
I don't like wearing gloves because I use my hands to feel if the plates are clean. Most days I'm fine but on Sundays (our busiest day) my hands usually get pretty damaged. Some easy ways to keep your hands safe are to wrap metal scourers with a cloth so you're not scraping your skin off as well as the grease, also moisturising can help.
That sounds like a great trick for keeping your hands better, I bought some lotion for myself while I was working there, it helped a bit
I recently got a job at a local restaurant as a dishwasher and after 2 days I already hate it. Note: im in high school and currently a sophomore
There’s typically 2 different things I can do as a dishwasher. I can put them away, plates, cups and other certain utensils in places they need to go. It’s super hard on my back and sometimes you have to drag a large cart of plates to another area of the kitchen to put them away which is already a hard task itself. The other half would be actually rinsing and loading silverware and dishes into racks and sending them through a large dishwasher. You get messy but it’s not as hard on your back however you have to work pretty quick because of how many people eat there and not knowing much about it can be super stressful. I can work weekends from 4 pm to 11 pm since I don’t have to worry about waking up early, however im worried that if I’m scheduled to work a weekday that they make me work until 11 as I need to wake up at 6 to prepare myself for school. The worst part about it that really stresses me out is the fact that if it’s a really busy day they might make me stay until way later. I actually had my wisdom teeth removed earlier this week so I really shouldn’t be starting to work anyways.
It’s not a horrible job though. I feel like I’ll just need some time to get used to it before im fully comfortable working there. For $12/hr for 3 days a week isn’t bad at all, especially for my age.
I feel you. I just started working as a utilities worker at a bakery as my first job a few days ago and it's def very fast paced and physical work. I just turned eighteen and graduated high school so I think it's a good starting job but tiring for sure.
@@riisu808 definitely! And on the plus side you don’t have to worry about school scheduling
That's a hard situation to be in, school is super important don't let them take advantage of you.. I guess you mean $12 us dollars? Where I live in Ontario minimum wages 15.50 or 14.60 for students..
I don't understand why it's okay to pay students less..
@@NathanaelNewton so I actually talked with the head manager of the kitchen about anxiety, stress, and about how I’ve had lots of breakdowns since I started working there because it was a new environment and luckily enough my boss is actually a human being who can realize what’s going on. He told me that I’m not the only one who has had these kinds of struggles and he welcomed me to work only Saturday’s, typically for 8 hours (3:00 to 11:00) which not only gives me the time to focus and study for school but I can still participate in the activities I used to before whether that be spending time with my family or attending school dances. $96 bucks before taxes every 2 weeks is not bad for my age at all and I am very thankful to work in such an environment where people are kind and helpful
@@chegathonk that's amazing! The boss there sounds like a wonderful person, I'm happy to hear that you've been able to get a better balance and improve your mental health, good luck with everything in the future!
So satisfeing
good music
Thank you
great music bro
No shade to the employee here. You are doing a fine job. I can't believe this setup is allowed and\or workable in a restaurant. It should not be okay to bring a clean tray back out to the dirty side. It looks like this is a corner unit. There could\should be another door on this machine and a landing area 90° from your sink following the other wall. This allows the dishes travel in a single direction. This not only prevents contamination but logjamming your work area and shuffling things around that are going in and coming out of that machine.
I do sort of prefer the soapy sink area though. You'd have to change the water often. But it's a little more peaceful experience than the hose. The hose is fun but in the wrong hands it's just chaos.
Yea I agree.
I didn't trust the sanitizer system so I filled the dishwater and soak water with bleach
nice

At least no drug testing smoke all the weed I want
In Canada it's mostly illegal to force your employees to take drug tests.
You work at a diner dont you
No I'm a software developer.
I worked at a diner for a few weeks some years ago to make a little extra money on the side.
So basically an industrial dishwasher is a hot rinse machine since its all clean already
It varies greatly depending on the kitchen, in this case is it a chemical sanitize wash.
I'm a new dishwasher was suppose to be a prep cook but I guess a favorite wanted to do that so I'm stuck with this but I don't care. So there are some machines that already do the sanitize so I just have to do everything before that just like you're doing in the video?
They don’t give u gloves? Or do u just choose not to wear them
It's hard to decide, they are not that helpful, especially when you get water inside them.. It can actually make things worse
The kitchen manager I have now told me to "just dunk the silverware in the soapy water, spray it off, then dunk it in saniatizer like wtf???? Then put it out Gross. ButbI hand wash it just letting him get upset over it because that's just nasty. Like this is my 4th dish washing job, I am pretty sure I know wth I'm doing.
Yea, and you know, you're the one that's going to get blamed if dirty silverware is given to a customer, not the manager.. smh
Thats not how I wash the dishes
I’m 15 washing dishes for 14 an hour
How many days a week do you do this?
14 hours is quite long, they better be paying you for all of your hours and any overtime.
