With a strong emphasis on hospitality and seafood excellence, Red Lobster has built a loyal customer base and continues to grow along with the communities it serves.
At Red Lobster, the Server role is critical to delivering the exceptional dining experience the brand is known for. Servers are the frontline representatives, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and cared for from the moment they are seated until their dining experience concludes. This position combines customer service skills with a good knowledge of the menu and the ability to operate POS systems efficiently. The Server is responsible for suggestively selling drinks, appetizers, and desserts to enhance the guest’s meal, accurately taking and delivering orders, and maintaining cleanliness and organization at the dining tables.
In return for their dedication, servers benefit from competitive wages ranging from $11.13 to $25.00 per hour, weekly pay, and flexible scheduling options ample enough to accommodate various lifestyle needs. Red Lobster offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes affordable medical, dental, and vision insurance options starting at under $10 per week, life insurance, short-term disability, voluntary benefits, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company matching after one year of service.

Additional perks like anniversary pay, discounted shift meals, and a 25% dining discount for guests create an inviting and rewarding work environment.
The ideal candidate for the Server position at Red Lobster is someone who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
