Darden Restaurants - RSC Careers

Text Size

The face of Darden is our 1,900 Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze and Seasons 52 restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada, and the outstanding men and women who operate them. But behind the scenes at our corporate headquarters in Orlando is an equally talented team of more than 1,200 men and women who work on everything from accounting and finance, facilities maintenance, food and beverage, HR, IT, marketing and communications, operations, purchasing, quality assurance, and real estate development, to the complex logistics involved with supplying our 1,900 locations. We call our corporate headquarters the Restaurant Support Center, or RSC.

Supporting all the managers and employees in our restaurants is a big job and we do it from our new state-of-the-art, LEED Gold certified campus that opened in September 2009. It features each of our brands’ development kitchens along "Main Street" as well as many amenities that our employees helped choose, including:

On-site Wellness and Fitness Centers
The Darden Café on-site dining facility
A company store and on-site dry cleaning service
On-site financial services provider
1/2–mile outdoor walking trail
