Silver New American Brasserie is a distinguished casual dining restaurant brand located in Bethesda and Washington DC, known for delivering an elevated dining experience with global flavors and award-winning craft cocktails. Silver prides itself on using fresh, sustainable ingredients sourced from over 15 local farms, emphasizing organic agriculture and sustainability. As a leader in the casual dining segment, Silver's fresh and locally inspired menu bridges the gap between traditional table service restaurants and uninspired fast food, offering guests unique and exciting food choices in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Recognized for its excellence, Silver has been named one of the most diverse workplaces by the Washington Post and featured among the 20 full-service restaurants to watch by Full Service Restaurant magazine. Additionally, in 2020, Silver earned the TDn2K Best Practices Award in the family dining category, highlighting its commitment to exceptional service and operational standards.

At Silver, the company culture is rooted in putting its people first, believing that the success of the restaurant derives entirely from their team’s professional and personal growth. Over 60% of their managers and every general manager and area director have been promoted internally, demonstrating their dedication to career advancement from within. This culture of growth fosters a supportive environment where employees are empowered to thrive in their roles and build meaningful careers. Silver is currently seeking friendly, warm, and energetic individuals who are passionate about hospitality to become core members of their kitchen team, preparing meals from scratch using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Whether full-time or part-time, these roles involve weekend and holiday availability, reflecting the dynamic nature of the restaurant industry. Starting pay begins at $16 per hour based on experience, reflecting Silver's commitment to rewarding talent and contribution.

The ideal candidate for this role loves connecting with guests and delivering exceptional food at the forefront of the latest culinary trends. Working at Silver offers much more than just a job; it opens the door to a career filled with opportunity and growth. Employees benefit from comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k plans, an employee assistance program, and bonus programs for referrals. Additional perks include gym membership discounts and savings on work shoes. Silver's commitment to fostering strong internal talent pipelines means employees can look forward to opportunities to advance as trainers, supervisors, and managers. This position offers a vibrant, fast-paced work environment where team members are encouraged to bring their best to the table in a culture centered on hospitality excellence. Joining Silver means becoming part of a family that values warmth, inclusivity, and dedication to exceeding guest expectations.
