Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-owned restaurant brand with a rich history spanning over fifty years. It began with a vision to create a unique connection to seafood and the coastal dining experience, and today it proudly operates over 500 restaurants across various communities. Red Lobster is more than just a place to eat – it is a welcoming environment where new friends become familiar faces. The company is deeply committed to serving its guests not only with delicious meals but also with memorable moments that make every visit special. This commitment to excellence — combined with a passion for its coastal heritage — has established Red Lobster as a leader in the seafood restaurant industry.

The company culture is centered around inclusivity and growth, ensuring every employee feels a part of the Red Lobster family. As an equal opportunity employer, Red Lobster is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and supportive workplace environment for all, regardless of background or identity. The focus on team collaboration, attentiveness to detail, and personal development helps employees thrive and build rewarding careers with the company.

Red Lobster is currently seeking motivated individuals to join their team as Bussers/Runners. This role is integral to the smooth operation of the restaurant, providing essential support to servers and ensuring guests enjoy a seamless and pleasant dining experience. The position offers competitive wages with weekly pay, flexible scheduling to accommodate diverse needs, and multiple benefits including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance starting at less than $10 per week. In addition to health benefits, employees have access to life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits, alongside a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company matching after one year of service. Anniversary pay and discounted meals enhance the overall compensation package.

As a Busser/Runner, your responsibilities will include greeting guests with a friendly smile, preparing your station for service, and ensuring tables are properly set with silverware and condiments. You will assist by refilling drinks, clearing dishes, resetting tables, and maintaining cleanliness standards throughout the dining area. The role also involves running hot food to guests promptly and supporting servers as needed. Adherence to food safety and cleanliness protocols is crucial to maintaining Red Lobster's high standards.

This role demands physical stamina, requiring the ability to bend, reach, stoop, and lift up to 30 pounds safely. Candidates must be able to remain on their feet and move efficiently throughout the restaurant during an 8 to 12-hour shift. Being a team player with strong attention to detail and the ability to multitask is essential for success in this position. Red Lobster also emphasizes reasonable accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to perform their essential job functions.

Joining Red Lobster means becoming part of a dynamic team at a company poised for future growth and exciting new opportunities. If you are enthusiastic about hospitality and seafood, and eager to contribute to a vibrant team environment, this is the role for you. Red Lobster offers not just a job but a career path with ongoing training and advancement possibilities.
