About these jobs
Kitchen helpers wash dishes, prepare ingredients, keep the kitchen clean and help the cooks. It is one of the most common first jobs in Canada and rarely needs experience; employers teach their own routines and food safety.
Restaurants hire all year, with more openings in summer in tourist areas. Expect evening and weekend shifts and time on your feet. Some provinces ask kitchen staff to take a short food handler course.
