What you get from the start:
At Olive Garden, you receive a great benefits package with no waiting period. If you choose to participate, you’re eligible from day one.

Health Insurance: We offer day one medical coverage with just a $100 deductible and a dental plan. For a little extra money you can purchase short-term disability insurance, which provides weekly benefits for up to 1 year. You can also sign up for $20,000 in term life insurance, which pays double if death is accidental.

Discounts: Eat at any Olive Garden or Darden restaurant concept (when you are not working) and get a 25% dining discount for you and up to 7 friends or family members.

How To Apply

Eye Care: You can see for yourself with discounts on eye exams, lenses, frames and contact lenses, which are available through our vision plan.

Education: Learn to speak Italian… or any other language for that matter. Get low interest educational loans for you and your family through our ConSern Student Loan Program.

Vacation: One week of paid vacation; two weeks after 3 years and three weeks after 7 years.

Retirement: You can start saving for tomorrow immediately with our Darden 401k savings plan. After you’re with us for one year, the company will match part of your contributions.
