WE BELIEVE IN DIVERSITY

At Darden Restaurants, diversity is a priority, a strategy, and a way of life.

That’s because the restaurant business is a people business. Diversity in the broadest sense can be found in Darden’s large workforce (more than 150,000 valued people) and in the more than 300 million guests we serve annually.

We promote and celebrate diversity throughout the company, not just because it’s “the right thing to do,” but becaue we know it’s crucial to our future growth. Darden respects and cherishes the distinctions our employees bring to the workplace, including diversity in race, gender, age, disability, national origin/ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion.

For more than 65 years, Darden Restaurants has been committed to creating an environment where everyone is welcome. Our founder, Bill Darden, recognized that if we hired people of all backgrounds, we’d have more talent, and if our restaurants welcomed people of all backgrounds, we would have more customers. As our country becomes increasingly more diverse, Darden’s ability to be the full service dining choice of all people is critical to its success.

“Our greatest competitive edge is the quality of our employees, evidenced by the excellent job they do every day.”
