JOIN THE TEAM
Personal Note from the Owners: FOX-N-OTTER is a small family owned business with about 10 employees who run our 3 locations from Asheville to Hendersonville. We have several kind and mature high school students who host games on the weekends and the rest are committed part-time hosts who simply love what they do and being part of a supportive team. Most of these hosts have found hosting flexible enough to coordinate with their ongoing family and life schedules. We always consider special applicants to join our team and our almost magical mission.
This could be a perfect fit for individuals looking for a fun side job with mostly weekend hours Fri, Sat and or Sun with some possible weekday Asheville Mall shifts if desired. We are always closed Sunday mornings until 1pm to allow time for staff to attend Worship services if desired. We candidates who may be interested in cross training multiple locations over time. Our staff schedule is a puzzle of collaboration and some great candidates may not be a fit for our current needs, but we always love to process of meeting great people during the interview process.
Thank you for requesting an application. You can expect to be contacted shortly with an application.
