Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-owned restaurant chain that has built its legacy over more than fifty years by offering guests a unique connection to seafood and coastal dining experiences. The company prides itself on being more than just a place to eat and work; it is an integral part of the communities it serves, creating spaces where new friends become familiar faces. With over 500 restaurants, Red Lobster emphasizes passion, quality, and community involvement, fostering an environment where guests can enjoy their favorite meals and memorable moments.

Red Lobster is currently looking for dedicated and energetic Bartenders to join their team. This role is essential in enhancing the dining experience by providing excellent customer service, crafting beverages to standard, and maintaining a welcoming and efficient bar environment. Bartenders at Red Lobster enjoy competitive wages with weekly pay, flexible scheduling, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits. Additionally, employees have access to a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a company match after one year of service, anniversary pay upon eligibility, discounted shift meals, and a 25% discount when dining as guests. Red Lobster also places a strong emphasis on career development, offering training and advancement opportunities so employees can grow within the company.

As a Bartender, you will be the face of hospitality at the bar, greeting guests with a smile and ensuring that their dining experience is enhanced through the perfect drink and attentive service. From setting up the bar stations to suggestively selling drinks, appetizers, and desserts, your role will be dynamic and customer-focused. Accuracy and attention to detail are critical, as you will be responsible for taking and entering orders into the POS system, following drink recipes, and ensuring food safety standards are upheld. The position involves delivering checks promptly and creating a warm environment that encourages guests to return.

The physical demands of the role require bartenders to be able to stand for up to 12 hours, bend, reach, stoop, and lift up to 30 pounds safely. Being a team player with excellent multitasking abilities and attention to detail is vital for success in this role. Red Lobster is committed to accommodating individuals with disabilities reasonably to ensure that all team members can perform essential functions.

Joining Red Lobster means becoming part of a company with big plans and exciting growth opportunities ahead. The company is proud to be an equal opportunity employer providing a welcoming workplace free from discrimination based on age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or veteran status. If you are passionate about hospitality, enjoy working in a team environment, and want to be part of a respected brand known for quality and community connection, Red Lobster is the place for you.
