Job Description

Maggiano's Little Italy is a renowned restaurant brand located within the vibrant Tysons Corner Center in McLean, VA. As part of Brinker International, a leader in the hospitality industry, Maggiano's proudly serves up authentic Italian-American cuisine in a casual dining environment. The establishment traces its roots back to the original vision of Norman Brinker, who revolutionized the dining scene by introducing a casual yet quality dining experience as an alternative to both formal restaurants and fast food outlets. Maggiano's has since become a cherished name among diners seeking not only delicious food but also memorable experiences that celebrate the love of family and friends. The Tysons Corner location represents the newest addition to the brand's expanding footprint, offering exciting new opportunities for team members and guests alike.

The role available at this location is that of a dishwasher, with both part-time and full-time positions open to join the initial opening team. This role is integral to maintaining the high standards of cleanliness and sanitation necessary in a busy restaurant kitchen. Dishwashers at Maggiano's are responsible for cleaning and sanitizing all food service utensils, glassware, plate ware, pots, and pans to support smooth kitchen operations and timely meal service. Beyond the technical duties, the role embodies the spirit of The Maggiano's Way – a unique company culture that prioritizes community, family values, and teamwork in a fast-paced environment.

Working as a dishwasher is a crucial behind-the-scenes job that directly influences guest satisfaction by ensuring all kitchen tools and serving items are pristine and ready for use. The position requires physical stamina and an upbeat attitude to keep pace with the restaurant's dynamic flow. Maggiano's values its employees not just as workers but as vital contributors to a team that makes memorable dining experiences possible. This opportunity also includes access to competitive earning potential, healthcare benefits with domestic partner coverage based on tenure and hours worked, career development with possibilities for global training roles, tuition assistance, and enrollment in a leading 401(k) savings plan with company match. In addition, employees receive rewards and recognition, discounts on various consumer goods and services, and dining discounts across Brinker-owned brands.

Joining Maggiano's means being part of a broader culinary family dedicated to excellence, tradition, and community engagement. This includes supporting charitable causes such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and local food banks, reinforcing a workplace culture that cares beyond its immediate surroundings. Prospective dishwashers are invited to help lay the foundation of the new Tysons location by contributing their efforts to deliver consistency and excellence as part of this celebratory team. The environment is one that embraces diversity and promotes a happy, inclusive, and professional work atmosphere, true to the ethos of an Equal Opportunity and E-Verify employer. Being a part of Maggiano's is about more than just the job; it is about joining a family that appreciates shared effort, enthusiasm, and the joy of bringing people together over great food and great times.
