Job Description

Red Lobster is a leading seafood restaurant chain that has been delighting guests for over fifty years with its passion for high-quality seafood and exceptional dining experiences. Founded as a single family-owned restaurant, Red Lobster has grown into a family of more than 500 restaurants across the country. The company prides itself on contributing to the communities it serves, making every guest feel at home and part of something special. Red Lobster is not just a place to eat; it is a place where new friends become familiar faces and memorable moments are created around the dinner table.

Red Lobster is currently seeking motivated and energetic individuals to join their team as Busser/Runners. This part-time role offers competitive wages, weekly pay, and flexible scheduling, making it an excellent opportunity for individuals looking for work-life balance while being part of a dynamic team. Red Lobster also offers options for affordable medical, dental, and vision insurance starting at less than $10 per week, alongside life insurance, short-term disability, and various voluntary benefits. Employees can participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match after one year of service and enjoy anniversary pay based on eligibility. Additional perks include discounted shift meals and a 25% discount when dining as a guest, further enhancing the employee experience.

The Busser/Runner position is crucial to maintaining the high standards of service and cleanliness that Red Lobster is known for. Responsibilities include welcoming guests with a friendly smile, preparing the station for shifts, ensuring all tables are set with silverware and condiments, refilling drinks, and assisting with pre-bussing. Busser/Runners play an important role in food delivery by running hot meals to guests promptly. They provide valuable support to servers to enhance overall guest satisfaction and adhere strictly to food safety and cleanliness standards. Clearing and resetting tables, cleaning seats and floors, communicating table readiness to the team, and helping with dish area breakdowns are also essential duties that keep the restaurant running smoothly.

Success in this role requires physical stamina and the ability to perform tasks that involve bending, reaching, stooping, lifting up to 30 pounds safely, and standing for 8 to 12-hour shifts. Being a team player with attention to detail and the ability to multitask is vital for meeting the fast-paced demands of the restaurant environment. Red Lobster is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace for all employees and offers reasonable accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.

Red Lobster is excited about its future and growth plans, inviting individuals to join a thriving and supportive family where employees can grow, advance, and build rewarding careers.
