NATURE OF WORK

A Food Service Supervisor I is the first line of supervisory work in food service operations in a dietary department of a State facility hospital or residential institution.  Employees in this classification are responsible for the production and serving of meals in accordance with prescribed procedures and applicable health and sanitation regulations and standards.  Employees in this classification supervise staff engaged in food preparation and serving for one cafeteria service area or a tray assembly and distribution site.
