Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned family-owned seafood restaurant chain that has been delighting guests with exceptional dining experiences for over fifty years. It started from a single family-owned establishment with a vision to connect people to seafood and the coastal lifestyle. Today, Red Lobster has expanded to more than 500 locations, each promising a warm, welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy their favorite meals and create memorable moments. The restaurant is deeply rooted in the communities it serves, making every visit feel like coming home. Red Lobster is more than just a dining venue; it is a place where friends become family and every team member plays an integral role in delivering outstanding service and quality.

The Dishwasher/Utility position at Red Lobster is a vital role within the restaurant team, responsible for maintaining cleanliness and organization throughout the restaurant. This full-time role is designed for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy working as part of a team. As a Dishwasher/Utility team member, you will be responsible for cleaning and sanitizing all dishware, flatware, glassware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils to ensure guest safety and satisfaction. Proper operation of industrial dishwashing equipment and other related machinery is a key aspect of the job. Beyond dishwashing duties, this role also supports the kitchen team by assisting with prep work, including the preparation of Red Lobster's signature Cheddar Bay biscuits and other necessary tasks.

The position offers flexible scheduling, making it ideal for individuals looking to balance work with other commitments. Weekly pay and competitive wages ensure fair compensation, with additional benefits including access to medical, dental, and vision insurance plans starting at less than $10 per week. Life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefit options provide further financial security. After one year of service, employees become eligible for the company's 401(k) retirement savings plan with matching contributions, helping team members plan for their futures. Anniversary pay and discounted meals contribute to a supportive work environment where hard work is recognized and valued. Red Lobster also prides itself on investing in employee growth by providing ongoing training and career advancement opportunities.

Physical stamina and attention to cleanliness and safety protocols are essential for success in this role. The Dishwasher/Utility team member must be able to bend, reach, stoop, lift up to 50 pounds safely, and stand for extended periods over an 8 to 12 hour shift. A team player mindset, attention to detail, and ability to multitask effectively under pressure are critical qualities. Culinary experience, while preferred, is not mandatory, as the company offers training to help employees excel. At Red Lobster, every decision made by team members focuses on creating exceptional guest experiences and supporting a collaborative, positive work culture.

Red Lobster is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming workplace for all. The company values diversity and ensures equal employment opportunities regardless of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or veteran status. With exciting future plans on the horizon, joining the Red Lobster family now means becoming part of a growing, dynamic organization that cares deeply about its employees and the communities it serves. This position not only offers a stable job with great benefits but also a chance to be part of a passionate team delivering exceptional dining experiences every day.
