  • Inspecting food preparation and serving areas, tools, and equipment to ensure observance of safe, sanitary food-handling practices
  • Substituting for or assisting other cooks and kitchen positions during peak business periods

  • Culinary experience preferred
  • Ability to bend, reach, stoop and lift up to 60 pounds safely
  • Ability to move about the restaurant and remain standing for an 8 12 hour shift
  • Team player with attention to detail and ability to multi-task

The physical demands described above are representative of those that must be met by employees to successfully perform this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.

BIG plans are on the horizon for Red Lobster. Our team and restaurants are great today, but our future is even better. There is no better time than now to be a part of the Red Lobster Family!
