Originating from a family-owned restaurant, Red Lobster has grown to encompass more than 500 locations, each a reflection of the brand's dedication to quality food, warm hospitality, and community engagement. The company takes pride in being more than just a place to eat; it is a place where customers create memorable moments and new friendships form. Red Lobster embraces a welcoming environment for employees and guests alike, supporting the community and fostering a family spirit within its operations.

As a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster, you will play an integral role in ensuring excellent customer service and a smooth dining experience. This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and are passionate about hospitality.

Safety and cleanliness standards must be upheld consistently to ensure a hygienic environment for both patrons and staff. Additionally, you will manage table availability communications, clear and reset tables, and support dishwashing efforts.

Red Lobster values the dedication of its staff and offers competitive weekly pay, flexible scheduling, and comprehensive benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance plans starting at less than $10 per week. Life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits are also available to provide security and peace of mind. After one year of service, employees can participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions. Celebrations of employee anniversaries, discounted meal options during shifts, and a 25% discount as a guest complement the supportive work culture. The company is committed to training and career advancement opportunities to help employees grow professionally within the organization. With exciting developments on the horizon, Red Lobster invites passionate individuals to join its expanding family and contribute to its continued success.
