Job Description

Red Lobster is a well-established family-owned seafood restaurant chain that has been serving guests for over fifty years. With more than 500 restaurants, Red Lobster is known for its commitment to providing guests with exceptional meals and memorable dining experiences inspired by the coast and fresh seafood. The company values community and connection, making each restaurant not just a place to eat, but a place where new friends become familiar faces. Their dedication to quality, service, and community involvement has made them a beloved brand across the nation.

The role of a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is an integral part of the restaurant's operations, ensuring that guests receive timely, attentive service in a clean and welcoming environment. This position is designed for individuals who are enthusiastic about hospitality, enjoy working in a fast-paced team setting, and are committed to helping create excellent dining experiences. As a Busser/Runner, you will be responsible for a variety of duties that support the servers and maintain the overall appearance and readiness of the restaurant.

This position offers weekly pay and competitive wages, making it an attractive opportunity for those looking to earn a steady income. Red Lobster also supports flexible scheduling, allowing employees to balance their work-life commitments more effectively. In addition to these financial benefits, the company offers options for medical, dental, and vision insurance starting at less than $10 per week, making health coverage affordable. Life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits are available to provide further security for employees and their families.

Red Lobster fosters career growth by providing training and opportunities for advancement, encouraging employees to develop their skills and pursue long-term careers within the company. After one year of service, employees become eligible for a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a company match, helping them prepare for their future. Other benefits include anniversary pay for eligible employees and discounts on meals during shifts and when dining as a guest.

Working as a Busser/Runner requires physical stamina and attention to detail. You must be able to stand for long periods, bend, reach, stoop, and lift up to 30 pounds safely. This role demands a team player who can multitask effectively, ensuring tables are clean, stocked, and ready for new guests, and that orders are delivered promptly. Safety and cleanliness standards are paramount, as is clear communication with the front-of-house team.

Red Lobster is committed to creating an inclusive workplace, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds and ensuring equal employment opportunities regardless of 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 family that takes pride in its work and looks forward to a bright future together.
