Who we are…

The Ned and Ned’s Club are a global collection of hotels, clubs, spas, and restaurants for like-minded individuals to meet, work and have a good time.

Seven years after launching The Ned London in 2017, we are proud to be opening a Ned’s Club in the US capital, our fourth and newest location.

The Property…

Ned’s Club Washington DC is a members’ club set over three floors of a neoclassical style building situated within President’s Park at 734 15th Street NW.

The Riggs Building sits opposite the US Treasury and was constructed in 1930. The 12-story building is located around the corner from the White House and sits above the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, formerly the historic Riggs Bank Corcoran branch.

The Club has a Rooftop Terrace and Loft Restaurant with views overlooking the White House, US Treasury and Washington Monument, plus a Founder’s Dining Room, The Library, Drawing Room, Gallery and Conservatory. On level nine, there is a self-contained floor of private event spaces.

As part of our Events culinary team and reporting to the kitchen leadership team, you will :

• Build plates to diagram / spec at pace (75–300 covers), maintaining portioning, garnish, and temperature control.
• Work assigned station (garde manger, sauté, roast, pass) and support adjacent stations as needed.
• Follow call-and-response during fire times; maintain clean, organized plate-up lines.
• Execute daily production sheets and par levels for proteins, sauces, veg, starches, and garnishes.
• Batch cooking (roasting, poaching, sous vide, combi) with proper chilling / holding (HACCP).
• Accurate labeling, dating, allergen separation, and yield tracking to reduce waste.
• Read BEOs and plating guides; set up pack-outs for off-room support.
• Assist with tastings, VIP / menu previews, and last-minute menu adjustments.
• Break down and reset efficiently to turn rooms or flip menus between courses.
• Maintain DOH / ServSafe standards; monitor logs for temps, cooling, and re-therm.
• Keep stations pristine—mise en place, knife safety, and equipment care.
• Participate in monthly deep cleans and weekly inventory counts.
• Partner with chefs, stewards, and service to time courses and recover from changes.
• Offer cross-support to other Club outlets when event volume is light.
• Coach newer team members on plating diagrams and station setup.
