While performing duties, counter areas are often hot with steam from steam table and food vapors. Workspace is restricted and employees are generally expected to remain standing for long periods of time. Employees must prepare hot and cold foods, use kitchen equipment, and work quickly without losing accuracy. Employees must be able to lift up to 50 lbs., stand up to four hours, and reach across countertops measured at 36 inches to serve customers.

Kitchens are hot and noise levels are usually high; storage space is limited and shelving is high. Effective verbal communication, adaptability to changing priorities, and conflict management are essential.
