Job Description

Silver Diner Development LLC stands as a pioneering leader in the casual dining sector, renowned for its dedication to delivering an exceptional dining experience rooted in fresh, locally sourced ingredients and an innovative flexitarian menu crafted by award-winning Chef Ype Von Hengst. The company has gained recognition as one of the Washington Post's 'Most Diverse Places to Work' and has been spotlighted by Full Service Restaurant Magazine as one of the '20 Full Service Restaurants to Watch.' Furthermore, Silver Diner's commitment to excellence earned it the prestigious 2020 TDn2K Best Practices Award in the Family Dining Category.

Founded on the principles of hospitality, quality, and community engagement, Silver Diner prioritizes its people above all, fostering a supportive culture where employees are empowered to excel both professionally and personally. The company's mission, 'To Be The Best We Can Be,' echoes throughout all facets of the organization, emphasizing the importance of high standards in product execution, guest satisfaction, and employee growth. Silver Diner attributes its success to treating its employees as its most precious resource, recognizing that the company’s achievements are inherently linked to the growth and well-being of its team members.

Silver Diner thrives on innovation and sustainability, maintaining direct partnerships with over 15 local farms that practice organic and sustainable farming to ensure the highest quality ingredients in their menu. This approach bridges the gap between traditional full-service dining and fast food by offering fresh, health-conscious, and flexitarian options, making their menu accessible and appealing to a wide range of customers. This dedication to quality and innovation garners a loyal customer base and positions Silver Diner as a category leader among casual dining establishments.

The Sodas position at Silver Diner is an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about hospitality and connecting with guests in a fast-paced, engaging environment. The role is akin to that of a modern barista but focuses on crafting premium hand-dipped shakes, sundaes, and craft sodas. Employees serving in this capacity become the vibrant face of the brand, interacting warmly with guests and promoting the unique flexitarian offerings. With options for both full-time and part-time employment, this position requires weekend and holiday availability, rewarding employees with an hourly wage plus tips.

Silver Diner strongly believes in internal promotion and career advancement. More than 60% of its managers and 100% of its General Managers and Area Directors have risen through the ranks within the organization. This commitment provides clear pathways for employees to progress from entry-level positions to leadership roles such as trainers, supervisors, and managers. Such growth opportunities are complemented by a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401K plan, and an Employee Assistance Program.

Additionally, Silver Diner offers various perks to enhance employee life beyond the workplace. These include a referral bonus program, meal discounts, gym membership reductions, and discounts on work shoes. Being part of one of the busiest restaurants in America presents a dynamic, fulfilling work environment where employees can thrive and contribute to an exciting dining concept at the forefront of industry trends.

Joining Silver Diner means becoming part of a family that values warmth, care, and dedication to hospitality.
