Why Saval Foodservice?

While Saval does big business, the feel of working for Saval is intentionally small.

As an employee of Saval, you will help us deliver on our promise of exceptional service to our restaurant and hospitality customers.

In 2020 alone, Saval Foodservice worked to distribute and donate over 15,000 boxes of food goods in partnership with Johns Hopkins.

Our operations team is led by Senior Vice President Gary Peisach, who is a sitting board member of Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, a non-profit that tackles feeding impoverished and elderly clients in the Baltimore region.

One of our most successful Saval Cares Initiatives is our annual charity golf tournament that has raised over $350,000 for the Children’s Cancer Foundation since its inception over 19 years ago.

We’re a proud allied member of the Restaurant Association of Maryland, the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, UniPro Buying Group, and the International Association of Foodservice Distributors.

The Benefits of Working for Saval Foodservice

We want our employees to feel they can grow with us. Many companies claim their benefits are “comprehensive”, but we’ve taken a whole-human and whole-company approach to employee benefits.
