Job Description
Red Lobster is a renowned seafood restaurant chain with over fifty years of history, known for its commitment to delivering fresh, quality seafood experiences and creating memorable dining moments. What began as a family-owned restaurant has blossomed into a vast network of over 500 restaurants across the country, all sharing the same passion for seafood and coastal cuisine. Red Lobster prides itself not only on being a great place to eat, but also on fostering a family-like environment where employees and customers come together as part of a community. Each restaurant is dedicated to servicing its local area, building lasting connections with guests and becoming a familiar and welcoming spot for special meals and everyday dining alike.
This particular role is for a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster, offering an excellent opportunity for those interested in starting or continuing their career in the hospitality and food service industry. The position features attractive benefits such as competitive weekly pay, flexible schedules, and comprehensive insurance options including medical, dental, and vision coverage starting at less than $10 per week. Additional perks include life insurance, short-term disability, voluntary benefits, a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions after one year of service, anniversary pay (based on eligibility), discounted meals during shifts, and even a 25% discount when dining as a guest. Red Lobster is committed to employee growth by providing ongoing training and clear career advancement paths, enabling employees to build a rewarding professional future.

Responsibilities include greeting customers with a friendly smile, preparing stations for shifts, making sure tables are set with utensils and condiments, refilling drinks, clearing used dishes and glassware, and delivering hot food when it is ready. The role also involves supporting servers as needed, following all food safety and cleanliness protocols, resetting tables quickly, maintaining clean seating and floor areas, and communicating table availability efficiently.

Red Lobster emphasizes inclusivity and equal opportunity, making sure the workplace is welcoming and accommodating to all employees regardless of background or identity.
