Get your chef’s hats on. Hiring at Olive Garden and Red Lobster, owned by Darden, will begin Feb. 9. Rich Jeffers, director of media relations, said via e-mail that 214 culinary and service positions are expected to be filled. Candidates may apply in person at the restaurants.
Beginning at 4 p.m. March 7, the restaurants will open for business — for dinner only. Lunch menus will be available beginning March 12.
