Job Description

Red Lobster is a renowned seafood restaurant chain that began as a family-owned establishment with a vision to offer guests a special connection to seafood and the coast. With over fifty years of history, the company has expanded to more than 500 restaurants, each carrying the founding passion for great meals and memorable moments. Red Lobster isn’t just a restaurant; it’s part of the communities it serves, where new friends become familiar faces. The company prides itself on crafting an experience that goes beyond dining, focusing on quality, community involvement, and delivering exceptional seafood cuisine.

The Dishwasher/Utility position at Red Lobster plays a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness and smooth operation of the restaurant environment. This part-time to full-time employment opportunity offers weekly pay and competitive wages, along with flexible scheduling that caters to a variety of lifestyles. In addition to financial compensation, the company provides a comprehensive benefits package—including medical, dental, and vision insurance options starting at less than $10 per week, life and short-term disability insurance, voluntary benefits, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company contributions after one year of service. Employees also enjoy paid time off upon meeting eligibility requirements, discounted meals during shifts, and a 25% discount when dining as a guest.

As a Dishwasher/Utility team member, candidates will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining all areas of the restaurant, ensuring that dishes, silverware, glassware, pots, pans, and kitchen utensils are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Operating dishwashers and other equipment safely and correctly is essential. Moreover, the role requires emptying trash from the kitchen and other areas, supporting cooks with prep work, including the preparation of the signature "Cheddar Bay Biscuits," and participating actively in team efforts to uphold cleanliness and safety protocols. The focus is always on the team and customers, making decisions that enhance the experience for both.

This role demands physical stamina and the capacity to perform tasks such as bending, reaching, squatting, and safely lifting up to 30 pounds. It also requires standing for shifts lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The company values teamwork, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment. Red Lobster prides itself on providing equal opportunity employment and fosters an inclusive workplace for employees of all backgrounds. Reasonable accommodations are available for individuals with disabilities to ensure their success in the role.

Joining Red Lobster means becoming part of a growing, dynamic team with ambitious plans for the future.
