So as a Kitchen Assistant I help prepare daily meals for students, following recipes fully, serve at the tills as well as set up counters ready for break and lunch times. Making sure all areas of the kitchen is clean and tidy and then at the end of the day close kitchen down. Provide good quality food to all students with nutrition value and providimg excellent customer service at all times.
