  • Lead pre-shift meetings, staff orientations, and support training for new hires
  • Help build schedules, learning paths, and mentorships for team members

  • Support guest experience by responding to questions, resolving issues, and keeping the front of house running smoothly
  • Ensure all areas are clean, organized, safe, and guest-ready
  • Assist with special events, promotions, league preparation, and day-to-day coordination

  • Operate POS systems, make announcements, and support lane and amusement operations as needed
  • Handle opening and closing duties and help ensure safety, security, and proper use of company property
  • Respond to incidents or injuries and complete required documentation when needed

In short: you’ll help keep the energy high, the team supported, and the experience exceptional.

  • The ability to stay calm, positive, and professional in a busy environment

The Environment

  • Fast-paced, high-energy setting with large crowds, kids, music, and lighting effects
  • You’ll be on your feet, moving throughout the facility, and lifting up to 50 lbs
  • This role requires flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and longer shifts when needed

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • You’ll have real impact on team culture and guest experience
  • Every day is different — no desk-bound routines
  • You’ll work alongside a collaborative leadership team
  • You’ll be part of a company that values fun, teamwork, and creating memorable moments
