Simploy Inc. has a client that is looking for Quick and efficient workers with experience in food preparation or cooking, no formal education or training is usually required to be kitchen staff, though the following skills are usually preferred:

• DEPENDABILITY – a food service employer is only as successful as the cooks and kitchen staff it employs; the kitchen staff is expected to be reliable, on time for work, and consistent with the work they do
• PHYSICAL STAMINA – the kitchen staff work on their feet for the duration of their shifts, around scheduled breaks, in kitchens that may be uncomfortably warm;  often they hand wash dishes in hot water, climb up and down ladders and stairs, and carry up to 50 pounds for short distances
• CUSTOMER SERVICE – working in all areas of the kitchen and often the food delivery space, including bars, seating areas, buffet tables, and dining rooms, the kitchen staff inevitably interact with customers, willingly listening to and assisting customers with their requests, even when they fall outside the kitchen staff’s normal duties
• FACILITY WITH KITCHEN EQUIPMENT – the kitchen staff work with sharp and potentially dangerous equipment on a daily basis—whether the deli slicer, pizza oven, or high-temperature dishwasher, they work safely and effectively with all kitchen equipment
• TEAM PLAYER – the kitchen staff takes direction from the kitchen supervisors and facility managers and is willing to assist other team members to get their jobs done
