Kitchen Helper LinkedIn About section example

I keep kitchens clean, stocked and moving so the cooks can focus on the food. For two years I've worked as a kitchen helper at a busy restaurant in Winnipeg — washing dishes, prepping vegetables, receiving deliveries and closing down the kitchen at night. On our busiest nights we serve about 300 covers, and the dish pit stays clear. I've also learned basic prep from our cooks: portioning, labelling and rotating stock properly. I hold a food handler certificate and I follow sanitation and chemical safety procedures every shift. I'm looking for full-time kitchen work in Winnipeg, ideally where I can grow into a prep cook role. Feel free to reach out.
