As a company, Zaxby's emphasizes a warm, energetic culture and believes in creating an environment where team members feel valued, supported, and motivated to grow professionally.

Zaxby's is currently expanding its dynamic team and is looking for dedicated cooks to join its crew. This role is categorized primarily as a part-time position offering a flexible schedule with hours ranging from 9 to 28 per week, which suits those seeking to balance work with other commitments. The company also provides paid training and early access to pay, enabling employees to quickly integrate into the team and manage their earnings effectively. Cooks at Zaxby's play a critical role in crafting memorable guest experiences by preparing and serving high-quality food in a timely manner while maintaining cleanliness, organization, and safety standards throughout food preparation areas. This position requires individuals who are enthusiastic, reliable, and passionate about customer service and food quality.

The responsibilities of this role include receiving inventory deliveries, stocking products, preparing menu items by following company standards, operating kitchen equipment safely, and ensuring that all food is handled following safety and sanitation guidelines. Cooks will be trained hands-on at various stations and through Zaxby's proprietary Back of House Development Plan, emphasizing teamwork and skill development. The job demands physical activity such as standing for long periods, lifting up to 50 pounds, and working in environments with temperature variations. The ability to communicate clearly, adhere to safety protocols, and maintain an organized workspace is essential. Working at Zaxby's also means representing a brand that values enthusiasm, quality, and guest satisfaction.

Team members can look forward to numerous benefits including free meals during shifts, discounts on off-shift meals, and recognition programs. There is a clear path for advancement within the company, supported by paid training and a positive workplace culture. Part-time employees have access to incentive programs such as employee referrals and 401(k) with employer match under certain eligibility criteria. For those working full-time, additional benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, short and long-term disability protection, and employer-paid life insurance.
