The busser position at Olive Garden is an essential role that contributes significantly to the guest experience.

The restaurant provides paid sick leave from the start and paid family and medical leave after one year of service, underscoring a commitment to employee well-being. Medical and dental insurance options are available, along with ongoing training opportunities that help employees build valuable skills for their current roles and future career advancement.

Discount programs extend to cellphones, travel, electronics, and more, providing added savings that contribute to a well-rounded employee experience. Additionally, the 401(k) savings plan with company matching after one year of service offers financial benefits and planning for the future. Career growth is actively encouraged as more than half of Olive Garden’s managers are promoted from within, starting from hourly team member positions like busser.
