Two ideas for catering roles and a mechanic to tie along with the role and food consumption. Both roles wouldn't actually need an official position and could exist as gimmick roles or simply have the equipment around for someone to assume the role.
Delivery Driver: Just a delivery person, for running food orders outside the kitchen. They have a box that helps keep the food at the temperature it was at, a little scooter for fast transportation, and a pocket sized credit transfer device for card payments, plus a spiffy set of clothes
Dish washer: They clean soiled kitchen utensils and plates. They have pallets trays they can load dishes in to run them through an industrial washer for large batches, as well as your common sponge, cleaner bottle, non slip boots, etc. Like a kitchen janitor
Which gets me into the new mechanic, dirty dishes. Dishes and utensils will become dirty with repeat use. Once dirty, it slightly decreases the quality of things prepared or served with it. It can be the difference between a 5 star meal and a 4 star.
