1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My day starts with switching on the equipment, setting up the kitchen and checking what prep is required. If there are no checks on we clean in accordance with our cleaning Rota. At the end of the shift we note down the wastage, clean down to meet h&s standards and I fill out and sign the kitchen log book.

Yes

9b. Why?

I have worked at a few places but none of them invested in their staff the way marstons do. We are encouraged to do our best and rewarded when our hard work pays off.

Be your self, do your job with confidence and have a laugh. While there is a hyrachy, everyone speaks to everyone else like a friend.
