Guest Service · Counter · Expo Support Little Engine – Rotisserie & Wings
Little Engine is on a mission to give the neighborhood rotisserie a serious tune-up. Little Engine is led by Chef Rob Sonderman, who grew up a few blocks away from our Eastern Market location and wanted to build the kind of place he’d actually want in his neighborhood. Rob has spent his career transforming familiar food into something more craveeable and fun. He helped build DCity Smokehouse and Federalist Pig into two of DC’s standout barbecue spots, then co-founded Honeymoon Chicken, where he focused on bringing bold flavors in a fast-casual setting.
We’re now hiring Front of House Team Members to join our guest-facing crew. Full-time and part-time positions available. If you enjoy fast-paced service, genuine hospitality, and working with a tight-knit team, we’d love to meet you.
