Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — Coastal Restaurant in Orange Beach is inviting new team members to join its growing island dining operation as it prepares for the upcoming season. The beachfront restaurant has built a reputation for year-round service, a welcoming atmosphere, and long-term employee retention driven by teamwork and mutual respect. Restaurant leaders say that creating a positive workplace plays a major role in delivering the level of hospitality guests expect.

To support seasonal growth, Coastal will host an in-person hiring event on Friday, January 30, and Saturday, January 31, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Managers from all departments will be on-site conducting open interviews and may make same-day hiring decisions. Training is expected to begin shortly after the event, as preparations continue for the busy season.

The restaurant is hiring for a wide range of positions, including front-of-house, back-of-house, culinary, and retail roles. Back-of-house positions offer starting wages of up to $22 per hour, along with incentives and opportunities for advancement. Coastal also offers an apprenticeship program designed for employees interested in building long-term careers in the hospitality industry.

In addition to competitive pay, Coastal says team members may benefit from flexible scheduling, major medical benefits, and a supportive work environment focused on professional growth. Management encourages applicants who enjoy helping others, working as part of a team, and contributing to a fast-paced setting to apply.

Applications will be available on-site during the hiring event, and candidates may also apply in advance through the restaurant’s employment page. Applicants are asked to bring proper I-9 identification, as hiring is contingent upon a background check. Those who do not see their preferred role listed are still encouraged to apply and to note their areas of interest.

Located directly on the beach, Coastal Orange Beach offers Gulf seafood, live music, waterfront views, and on-site retail shopping. Restaurant leaders say new hires will quickly experience the close-knit culture that has helped the business become a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
