Job Description

Olive Garden is a renowned casual dining restaurant brand known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious Italian-inspired cuisine, and exceptional guest service. As part of the Darden Restaurants family, Olive Garden has established itself as a leader in the hospitality industry, emphasizing a culture where every team member is valued as family. The company prides itself on maintaining high standards of safety, cleanliness, and customer satisfaction, prioritizing the health and well-being of both guests and employees. With locations across the country, Olive Garden offers a vibrant work environment where individuals can grow, excel, and contribute to creating memorable dining experiences for guests.

We are currently seeking dependable and hardworking Dishwashers to join our team. The role of a Dishwasher at Olive Garden is critical in maintaining the backbone of our kitchen and dining operations. You will be responsible for ensuring all plates, glassware, utensils, and touch points are cleaned and sanitized in accordance with the company's rigorous health and safety standards. This position directly supports our commitment to delivering an excellent guest experience by keeping our restaurants clean, safe, and well-stocked with clean dishware.

Working as a Dishwasher offers an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking flexible schedules to accommodate other life commitments such as school, childcare, or family care. Olive Garden values work-life balance and provides weekly pay with potential anniversary pay to reward long-term dedication. Additionally, new team members begin accruing paid sick leave from day one, and after one year of service, are eligible for paid family and medical leave. The company supports career advancement opportunities, with over half of its managers promoted from within, making this role a great entry point for a long-term career in hospitality. Olive Garden also provides medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) savings plan with company match after one year, discounts on electronics and travel, ongoing training to build vital skills, and complimentary employee meals from a limited menu.

Being part of the Olive Garden family means joining a team that takes pride in its service, values inclusivity, and prioritizes safety and cleanliness to create a positive working and dining environment. If you are organized, detail-oriented, and ready to contribute to a team that delivers consistent guest satisfaction, this role is an excellent fit. We invite you to join us and become an essential player in our restaurant's success story. #MyOliveGardenFam is more than a hashtag; it is a commitment to teamwork, growth, and shared success.
