Job Description

Red Lobster is a nationally recognized seafood restaurant chain that began as a family-owned establishment with a passion for delivering a special dining experience centered around seafood and the coast. With a history spanning over fifty years, Red Lobster has grown to operate more than 500 restaurants that serve as extensions of their founding passion. The company prides itself on being more than just a place to eat or work - it is a vital part of the communities it serves where new friends become familiar faces and cherished moments are made around the dining table. Red Lobster emphasizes a welcoming atmosphere, delicious meals, and a commitment to quality service which makes it a beloved destination for seafood lovers across the country. They are known for their commitment to creating a positive and engaging workplace culture as much as for their fresh seafood offerings.

The role of a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is essential to maintaining the flow and energy of the restaurant. This position involves greeting guests warmly, setting up the dining area by preparing tables with the proper utensils and condiments, and assisting servers to ensure that the dining experience runs smoothly.

Because this role requires close coordination with servers and kitchen staff, teamwork and attention to detail are critical qualities. The job also demands adherence to food safety and cleanliness regulations to maintain standards of hygiene and guest satisfaction.

This is an hourly, part-time or full-time position that offers a competitive wage between 15 and 25 dollars per hour, weekly pay, and flexible scheduling options. Red Lobster provides excellent benefits starting at under 10 dollars per week including medical, dental, and vision insurance. They also offer life insurance, short-term disability, voluntary benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with company contributions after one year, anniversary pay for eligible employees, discounted meals during shifts, and a 25% discount when dining as a guest. Red Lobster invests in employee development through comprehensive training and opportunities for career advancement, making it a great place to grow and succeed in the hospitality industry. The company is dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace and hiring diverse talent in accordance with equal employment opportunity principles.
