Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-oriented seafood restaurant that has proudly served guests for over fifty years. Founded with a vision to connect people to seafood and the coast, Red Lobster has grown into a vibrant community-focused chain with over 500 locations nationwide. Each restaurant reflects the passion and dedication of that original family-owned establishment, offering more than just meals but memorable dining experiences and a sense of belonging. Red Lobster is more than a place to eat and work. It is where guests enjoy their favorite meals in a welcoming environment, and employees grow professionally and personally within a supportive team.

The role of a Busser/Runner at Red Lobster is a vital part of delivering exceptional service to our guests.

This role offers flexible scheduling, competitive wages paid weekly, and opportunities for advancement through training and career development. Team members benefit from affordable medical, dental, and vision plans starting at less than $10 per week, life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits. Additionally, you can participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a company match after one year of service. The company also rewards loyalty with anniversary pay and offers discounted shift meals plus a 25% discount when dining as a guest. Red Lobster values team collaboration, hard work, and creating positive guest experiences in every interaction.
