Bring Your Wok Skills. Build Something Exceptional.

The Majestic is bringing the energy, flavor, and unmistakable comfort of New York style Chinese-American cooking to North Asheville. We’re looking for talented Line & Prep Cooks who know their way around Chinese or Chinese-American cuisine, thrive on a busy line, and take real pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen.

This is a chance to do exciting food with a large, collaborative team in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. We believe a great kitchen can be fast paced and demanding without sacrificing respect, teamwork, or hospitality. Thoughtful station coverage, clear communication, and teammates who have each other’s backs help make service smoother for everyone.

• What You’ll Do

· Execute Chinese-American classics with consistent flavor, texture, presentation, and speed, including work on high-volume wok stations.

· Prepare ingredients for service: knife work, portioning, sauces, marinades, proteins, vegetables, and organized mise en place.

· Work confidently across prep and line stations; support station setup, restocking, breakdown, and service transitions.

· Use proper wok techniques, heat control, timing, and batch management to deliver consistent dishes during busy service.

· Follow recipes, portion standards, ticket priorities, and chef direction; communicate clearly with expo and fellow cooks.

· Maintain clean, stocked, safe workstations; follow food safety, labeling, rotation, allergen, and sanitation procedures.

· Help teammates during rushes and contribute to a welcoming, respectful kitchen where high standards and hospitality go hand in hand.

• What We’re Looking For

· At least 3 years of professional line cook experience.

· Strong hands on experience cooking Chinese or Chinese-American cuisine; familiarity with classic New York style Chinese takeout dishes is especially valuable.

· Demonstrated experience operating wok stations in a professional kitchen, including speed, heat management, and consistency.

· Solid prep fundamentals, knife skills, station organization, and the ability to execute recipes accurately.

· Calm urgency, reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to stay focused through high-volume service.

· A positive, team first attitude and pride in providing an exceptional guest experience through the food.

· Experience with Toast KDS is a plus.

• Why You’ll Love Working Here

· Competitive base pay plus BOH tip-out.

· Work alongside a skilled, supportive culinary team that values coaching.

· A fun, respectful, well organized environment with a larger team working together to make daily operations more manageable.

· Opportunities to grow and advance internally as your skills and leadership develop.

· Daily family meal before service and employee discounts at The Scheffer Group restaurants, including Gan Shan, Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian, and Jettie Rae’s.

· Benefits available to eligible full-time and part-time team members after 90 days; offerings may vary by eligibility.

· Live and work in Asheville, surrounded by the food culture and natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

Health, dental and vision insurance, employee discounts, flexible scheduling, and paid training; eligibility and availability should be confirmed with the hiring team.
