How Do I Become a Food Counter Attendant or Kitchen Helper?

In B.C., no standard training or education is required for food service counter attendants, kitchen helpers and food preparers. However, you may need some secondary school education. Other training or requirements may include:

  • food safety training and customer service experience
  • on-the-job training under the supervision of other experienced workers
  • FOODSAFE Certificate Level 1 for front line food service workers (cooks, servers, bussers, dishwashers, and deli workers). FOODSAFE covers food safety information, foodborne illness, receiving and storing food, preparing food, serving food, cleaning and sanitizing
