Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned seafood restaurant chain with a rich history rooted in family ownership and a passion for delivering a special connection to the coast and its seafood. Established over fifty years ago, Red Lobster has grown to operate more than 500 restaurants, each serving as a testament to the founder's vision of providing memorable dining experiences centered around favorite meals and special moments. The company is deeply ingrained in the communities it serves, transforming new guests into familiar faces and offering not only a place to eat but also a welcoming environment to work and grow.

As a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster, you will play a vital role in maintaining the smooth flow of operations within one of the world's most beloved seafood restaurant chains. This role is salaried with weekly pay and offers flexible schedules, making it an ideal position for individuals seeking a supportive work-life balance. With competitive wages and benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance starting at less than 10 dollars per week, life insurance, short-term disability, voluntary benefits, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions after one year, working as a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is both rewarding and stable.

In this position, you will be responsible for greeting guests warmly, ensuring the dining station is well-prepared before your shift, keeping tables set with silverware and condiments, refilling beverages, and clearing dishes promptly. Serving hot food to guests from the pass is another critical aspect of your duties, along with assisting servers during busy times to enhance customer satisfaction. You will also adhere strictly to all health and safety regulations, clean and reset tables between guests, communicate table availability effectively, and help separate items in the dishwashing area. Your physical endurance and teamwork skills will be essential in meeting the demands of the job, which include standing for long shifts, bending, reaching, and safely lifting up to 30 pounds.

Red Lobster prides itself on offering a welcoming workplace with opportunities for career advancement and growth. Employees benefit from discounted meals during shifts and an additional 25% discount when dining as guests. Anniversary pay for eligible team members further demonstrates Red Lobster's commitment to recognizing and rewarding loyalty. The company fosters diversity and inclusivity and is an equal opportunity employer that values every individual's unique contributions without discrimination based on age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or veteran status.

Joining Red Lobster means becoming part of a dynamic family dedicated to excellent customer service and outstanding seafood dining experiences. The company's bright future, combined with its strong employee support programs, makes now the perfect time to embark on a fulfilling hospitality career with one of the industry's leaders.
