Legal Rights

This lawsuit provides Darden’s current and former servers and bartenders from Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze and Seasons 52, the opportunity to join together and seek back wages owed to them for the time spent doing general maintenance or preparatory duties, which they performed for less than minimum wage.

Off the Clock Work 

Plaintiffs and the other servers and bartenders are entitled to, among other categories of damages, wages for the time during which they worked, for which Darden did not pay them.

Tip Credit Violations

Plaintiffs and the other servers and bartenders are entitled to, among other categories of damages, the applicable minimum wage for the time during which they worked, without any tip credit deduction taken, for those servers and bartenders working in states that allow a tip credit.
