Hot Birds, a Knoxville born Hot Chicken concept is OPENING its second location! Our customers and Knoxville visitors rave about this being their GO-TO spot downtown in the Marble City Market food hall. We pride ourselves in making scratch-made food such as hand-breaded spicy chicken sandwiches, tenders, loaded fries, wings, mac and cheese and banana pudding.
We are a high energy, high collaboration environment that rewards employees with spot bonuses, tip-sharing and free meals during working hours, and performance-based pay raises and promotions on a quarterly basis.
We are looking for crew members who are fired up about Hot Chicken and bringing this delicious new concept to the Knoxville area as we look at rapid expansion in the next couple of years. We will consider the most tenured employees as eligible for promotions.
We will be open 7 days a week, 11 am to 9 pm. Our 2 shifts will run from 9am to 5pm(Morning) and from 5pm to 10pm (Evening). Address is 460 North Cedar Bluff Rd.
