The Assistant Manager role at CEC Entertainment is a dynamic and high-energy opportunity designed for aspiring management professionals passionate about leading teams in a fast-paced, family-friendly setting. This position plays a crucial part in delivering the brand promise that "every guest leaves happy" by maintaining excellent guest service standards and operational efficiency. Assistant Managers take ownership of an Area of Impact (AOI) in one of four key domains — Kitchen, Sales, Showroom, or Gameroom — rotating through these to gain comprehensive operational expertise. Responsibilities include managing staff scheduling, upholding safety and cleanliness standards, driving sales through effective team leadership, and managing financial and inventory controls. This role offers competitive hourly compensation ranging from $20.45 to $22.49, with enticing commission potentials based on sales of memberships and Fun Passes, paid bi-weekly.
As an Assistant Manager, you'll not only build sales and maximize profits but also inspire and coach your team to provide exceptional guest experiences while ensuring a safe and clean environment. Your leadership skills will be pivotal in developing staff, analyzing financial performance, managing labor, and supporting the flawless execution of birthday parties and other showroom events. This job also demands a hands-on approach to maintaining equipment and game areas in partnership with the Technical Manager. The environment is fast-paced and vibrant, featuring moving mechanical parts, flashing lights, and varying temperature conditions, requiring physical stamina such as lifting up to 50 pounds and performing various physical activities throughout shifts. CEC Entertainment values diversity and inclusion, striving to reflect these principles in its workforce and guest experience. The company also provides extensive benefits like medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, 401(k) retirement plans, job training, and rapid payroll access to support employee growth and well-being.
