• Train, guide, and onboard stewarding colleagues in hygiene practices, food safety compliance, chemical handling, and equipment use.
• Report and follow up on equipment malfunctions, maintenance needs, and ensure preventive maintenance of kitchen and dishwashing equipment.
• Promote and comply with hotel health, safety, fire, and emergency procedures, taking responsibility to rectify hazards and report major concerns.
• Monitor waste management and recycling procedures to align with sustainability goals.
• Maintain accurate records of breakage, losses, maintenance reports, and stewarding supplies.
• Collaborate with chefs, F&B, and other departments to support smooth kitchen and service operations.
