Server — Zeppelin DC
Full-Time & Part-Time
Zeppelin brings Edomae-style sushi, charcoal-grilled yakitori, and omakase together with the vibrant spirit of rock-and-roll and the adventure of the Golden Age of airships. We're an elevated neighborhood restaurant — precise in craft and knowledge, warm and welcoming in feel. At Zeppelin, we don't have customers, we have guests, and we're looking for servers who understand that guests may not remember every dish, but they'll always remember how they were treated.
Position Summary
Zeppelin is seeking experienced Servers to join our floor team. The ideal candidate is polished, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about hospitality — someone who takes pride in the small things and wants every guest's night to exceed what they expected.
Requirements
- Minimum 2+ years of experience in upscale service required.
- Experience with Japanese cuisine preferred
- Strong food and beverage knowledge, with the ability to build on it further through our menu and sake/wine training
- Comfort with suggestive selling that feels natural, not pushy — helping guests find what's actually right for them
- Excellent communication and time-management skills in a fast-paced environment
- A team-first attitude — this room relies on everyone working together constantly
What We Offer
- Competitive pay, commensurate with experience
- Opportunities for growth within the restaurant as Zeppelin continues to build out its team and grow
- A workplace that genuinely invests in its people — through training, product knowledge, and a real hospitality culture, not just a job

Founded in 2019, Zeppelin Restaurant & Bar serves up Sushi and Japanese Charcoal-grilled Yakitori, paying homage to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. The restaurant features traditional Edomae-style nigiri sushi and an omakase bar led by Chef Minoru Ogawa — a Tokyo native, second-generation sushi chef, and owner of Sushi Ogawa. Trained under his master-chef father in the Nippori section of Tokyo, Ogawa carries on a family legacy that spans over 50 years, with both his father and brother renowned as master sushi chefs in Japan. Staying true to his roots, Chef Ogawa imports fish directly from Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji Market and meticulously crafts each piece of sushi for an unforgettable omakase experience.
Together with partners Adrian Williams, Ari Wilder, and Micah Wilder of Chaplin’s, Chef Ogawa helped bring Zeppelin to life — a vibrant destination where Japanese tradition meets the spirit of adventure.
