Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned seafood restaurant chain that started as a family-owned establishment with a vision of offering people a unique connection to seafood and coastal dining. With over fifty years of experience and more than 500 locations, Red Lobster has grown to become a staple in the communities it serves, providing not only a place to enjoy favorite meals and special moments but also fostering a sense of family and familiarity among its guests. The company takes pride in being more than just a restaurant; it is a part of the community where new friends become familiar faces. Red Lobster is committed to delivering high-quality seafood dishes while ensuring a warm and welcoming environment for both customers and employees. The company emphasizes strong community values and passion for great food, making it a sought-after employer in the hospitality industry.

The role of a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is critical for maintaining the seamless dining experience the restaurant promises. This is a flexible position offering competitive pay with weekly payment schedules, making it ideal for individuals seeking both steady income and adaptable working hours. Employees in this role benefit from access to health, dental, and vision insurance starting at under $10 per week, along with life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits. They also have access to a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions after one year of service. Additional perks include anniversary pay, discounted shift meals, and 25% discounts when dining as a guest. Above all, Red Lobster invests in training and career development opportunities to help employees grow within the company.

As a Busser/Runner, the individual is responsible for greeting customers with a smile, preparing their station for the shift, ensuring tables are set with utensils and condiments, refilling drinks, and clearing used dishes and glassware. The role requires delivering hot food promptly to customers and assisting servers as necessary. It is essential that employees adhere to all food safety and cleanliness standards, clear and reset tables efficiently, communicate table availability, and manage dish sorting in the sink area. Physical stamina and teamwork skills are vital since the job demands bending, reaching, standing for extended periods, and safely lifting up to 30 pounds. Red Lobster also values inclusivity and equal employment opportunities, welcoming applicants regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or background. This position provides a chance to be part of an established, growing brand that prioritizes both guest satisfaction and employee well-being.
