Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-owned restaurant chain that has been serving guests for over fifty years. It began as a single establishment with a vision to connect people to seafood and the coast, emphasizing not just meals but memorable moments shared with family and friends. Today, Red Lobster operates over 500 restaurants, each one embodying the founding passion of providing an exceptional dining experience. The company is deeply integrated into the communities it serves, creating welcoming environments where guests feel like family and familiar faces become part of a shared story. Red Lobster prides itself on being more than just a place to eat and work; it is a place where careers are built, and people grow both personally and professionally.

This role is for a Busser/Runner, a vital position within the Red Lobster team. The Busser/Runner helps ensure the smooth operation of the restaurant by supporting both guests and servers. Responsibilities include greeting guests warmly, setting up stations before shifts, replenishing silverware and condiments, and pre-bussing tables to maintain cleanliness and efficiency. The Busser/Runner also assists in running hot food to guests, clearing tables promptly after use, resetting tables, and maintaining cleanliness in the dining area. Communication with servers about table readiness and support needs is key to this role, as is adherence to strict food safety and cleanliness standards. This position requires physical stamina and the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced restaurant environment.

Red Lobster offers competitive wages with weekly pay, flexible scheduling options, and a comprehensive benefits package starting from as little as $10 per week. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, short-term disability, and a variety of voluntary benefits. Employees gain access to a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a company match after completing one year of service. Additional perks include anniversary pay for eligible employees, discounted meals during shifts, and a 25% discount when dining as a guest. Red Lobster is committed to training and career development, offering employees opportunities for advancement and growth within the company. This role is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to join a supportive team with a forward-looking vision and a strong commitment to employee well-being and community connection.
