Embark on a fulfilling culinary journey with the YMCA as a food service assistant, where your passion for cooking meets a higher purpose. In this dynamic role, you will wear many hats, each contributing to the vibrant community we strive to foster. The hours for this role are Monday through Friday, 6 am to 2 pm. As the steward of cleanliness and kitchen aesthetics, you'll play a pivotal role in maintaining an environment that not only meets but exceeds state and local codes, aiming for a remarkable 95% rating in inspections.
Your attention to detail extends beyond the surface, ensuring the quality and quantity of cleaning supplies and equipment are always up to par. With an eye for organization, you'll orchestrate the kitchen's efficiency, ensuring that food is prepared precisely according to the directives of our Food Service Director. Your commitment to culinary excellence will shine as you plan, implement, and supervise healthy menus for children's daily meals and snacks, mapping out a week in advance to keep our offerings fresh, varied, and nutritious.
Our emphasis on homemade and pre-packaged foods is a testament to our dedication to providing wholesome options. Your culinary creativity will come to the forefront as you strike a balance, leaning towards homemade creations whenever possible. Whether it's preparing snacks, lunches, and drinks for committee meetings or contributing to the creation of a pleasant and friendly environment, your role extends beyond the kitchen to touch the hearts and palates of our YMCA members, staff, and community members.
Professionalism is the cornerstone of your conduct. You'll maintain accurate daily records for state lunch reports, recording purchases, and submitting reports to ensure transparency and compliance. Balancing daily cash receipts with meticulous accuracy and recording charges on staff charge sheets are second nature to you, showcasing your commitment to financial accountability.
In this culinary adventure at the YMCA, you're not just a kitchen assistant; you're a key player in creating a healthier, happier community. Your culinary expertise and commitment to excellence will contribute to the YMCA's mission, making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
