Dishwasher / Kitchen Porter

About Honey Veil

Honey Veil is a family-run matcha café and bakery born in Miami, known for long lines, thoughtful drinks, and baked goods made with a lot of love and a little bit of obsession. Our flagship store at 5748 Sunset Drive is a busy, tight operation—and none of it works without clean dishes and an organized kitchen.

We’re hiring a Dishwasher / Kitchen Porter to keep the whole engine from seizing up.

Role Summary

This is a single-function back-of-house support role.

The Dishwasher / Kitchen Porter keeps the kitchen supplied with clean sheet pans, bowls, utensils, and smallwares; buses back-of-house racks and carts; takes out trash; and helps maintain basic BOH cleanliness. No FOH service, no cooking—just keeping the space clean and the team moving.

What You’ll Do

Dishwashing & BOH Support

• Wash dishes, sheet pans, trays, mixing bowls, utensils, and smallwares using the dish machine and 3-compartment sink.
• Keep clean items organized and stocked where bakers, cooks, and baristas can easily find them.
• Bus dirty items from designated BOH drop zones back to the dish area throughout the shift.

Trash, Recycling & Basic Cleaning

• Take out trash and recycling from BOH areas on a regular schedule and as needed during rushes.
• Replace liners and keep trash/recycling areas tidy and safe.
• Help with basic BOH cleanliness: wiping surfaces, sweeping, occasional mopping of the dish/kitchen area.
• Assist with end-of-shift breakdown and reset of dish and prep areas.

Organization & Safety

• Keep the dish area organized so dirty and clean items never mix.
• Follow chemical and safety procedures for dish soap, sanitizers, and cleaning supplies.
• Report any broken equipment, leaks, or safety hazards to a manager immediately.

What We’re Looking For

• No formal kitchen experience required—prior dish, porter, or BOH experience is a plus.
• Can move quickly and stay organized in a busy environment.
• Comfortable with physical work: lifting up to 50 lbs, standing, bending, and walking for most of the shift.
• Reliable and on time—everyone depends on this role running smoothly.
• Willing to follow systems and keep things clean, labeled, and in the right place.
• Positive attitude and a team-first mindset.

Schedule & Pay

• Full-time, on-site role at 5748 Sunset Drive, South Miami, FL.
• Primarily daytime and/or early-evening shifts; weekends and some holidays required.
• Pay: $16–$18/hr, with most hires expected around $16–$17/hr.
  • $18/hr is reserved for rock-solid performers you want to retain long-term and/or heavier night schedules.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume (if you have one) or a short note sharing:

• Any prior kitchen, dish, or physical work experience.
• Your availability (days and times).
• Your target hourly rate within the posted range.

We’re excited to meet the person who will keep the Honey Veil kitchen clean, flowing, and ready for the next rush. 🐝💚
