OverviewPrimary responsibility is supporting the patient tray line and ensuring the meal assembly process runs efficiently. The Starter must maintain a consistent and efficient pace throughout meal service to keep up with the Server and ensure trays are completed and delivered within established delivery times for the nursing units.
The tray line operates as an assembly-style process. The Starter initiates each patient tray and receives the appropriate plate from the Server before passing the tray to the Dining Associates. The Dining Associates then complete the tray and place it in their carts for delivery.
In addition to tray line responsibilities, the Starter will support the dishroom throughout the day. This includes breaking down patient trays returned by the Dining Associates and preparing them for the Utility team to wash.
The Starter will also be responsible for maintaining adequate supplies at the tray line to support meal service, including drinks, chips, condiment cups, napkins, and other necessary items.
