Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-owned seafood restaurant chain with a rich history spanning over fifty years. It began with a single family-owned establishment driven by a vision to connect people to seafood and the coastal experience. Today, Red Lobster has grown to encompass more than 500 restaurants across various communities, each proudly continuing the founding passion to serve memorable meals and moments to its guests. The company is deeply rooted in the local communities it serves, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where new friends quickly become familiar faces. Working at Red Lobster is more than just a job—it is being part of a family that values connection, quality, and a supportive environment. The company emphasizes growth and career advancement for its employees by providing training and opportunities so they can develop professionally within the organization.

The role of Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is essential in maintaining the friendly and efficient dining experience the restaurant is known for. As a Busser/Runner, you will be the first point of contact in welcoming guests with a smile and an upbeat attitude, setting the tone for their visit. The position involves preparing the station for each shift, ensuring all tables are properly set with clean silverware and condiments, and assisting servers by running hot food to guests promptly. Additionally, you will be responsible for refilling drinks, pre-bussing tables, clearing dishes, resetting tables, and keeping seating areas and floors clean. Attention to detail and a strong focus on cleanliness and food safety standards are critical components of this role. This position requires physical stamina as the role involves bending, reaching, lifting up to 30 pounds safely, standing for long shifts, and moving quickly around the restaurant. Teamwork and the ability to multitask efficiently are necessary to succeed as a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster.

Red Lobster provides competitive wages with weekly pay and flexible scheduling, making it an attractive employment option. Benefits include access to medical, dental, and vision insurance starting at less than $10 per week, life insurance, short-term disability, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match after one year of service. Employees also enjoy anniversary pay upon meeting eligibility requirements, discounted meals during shifts, and a 25% discount when dining as a guest. Importantly, the company promotes a supportive work culture, with ongoing training and numerous career development opportunities encouraging growth within the organization.

Joining Red Lobster means becoming part of a dynamic and evolving team that is gearing up for a bright future. The company fosters an inclusive and equal opportunity working environment, welcoming employees of all backgrounds regardless of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or veteran status. This commitment makes Red Lobster a welcoming place to build a fulfilling career in the hospitality industry.
