US:
We are a well-known Cleveland Park restaurant that prides itself on being among the best neighborhood spots that caters to Washington's elites and Everyday Joe's alike. Recent press and longstanding community support have been very kind to us (Washingtonian Top 100, up for a Rammy, etc...). Now, after a strong and sustained period of growth, we need to add to our staff. That's where you come in.
Our chefs are gifted. Our standards are solid. We are consistently growing. We love what we do. In short, it's good to be on our team.
YOU:
You are a professional server with at least 1 year of current experience. You take pride in what you do for a living. While some things you do/have done in the past may be a means to an end, you put a personal premium on doing everything as well as possible. You may have even thought at some point that there are no menial jobs, but there certainly are menial people. You expect a similar mindset of those you work with. You are seeking a group to professionally establish yourself within for the long haul and, hopefully, the eventual rise through the ranks into a position of trust and/or management.
HOW YOU MIGHT PURSUE THIS FURTHER:
Send us an email with your resume to suggestions@ardeorestaurant.com. Please tell us why you believe you are a good candidate for our restaurant in your email. If we like what we read, we will call/email you and set up an interview. You may also apply in person between 1-3PM Mon- Fri at 3311 Connecticut Ave NW.
Please bear in mind that this is a full-time position that we intend to fill quickly. We will give open preference to those applicants with full availability. We will certainly accommodate notice to a current employer, but our goal is to have you up and running at full speed in about a week if notice to your current employer is not a concern. If our proposed time-frame is not possible, please let us know why in your initial contact email. (It's not a deal-breaker as such. We simply expect you to be up front with us. It's OK. We reciprocate on that.)
We look forward to meeting you!
Cheers!
