The Assistant Manager role at CEC Entertainment offers a management career growth opportunity within a high-energy, rewarding environment. This position is essential in helping lead a dedicated team committed to ensuring "every guest leaves happy." Assistant Managers make daily decisions involving time management, scheduling, cleanliness, and uphold product and guest service standards. They play a critical role in building sales, maximizing profits, and developing their team to meet company expectations. This leadership role requires coaching and inspiring staff to deliver outstanding guest service and maintain a safe, clean, and operational environment.
Assistant Managers take ownership of an Area of Impact (AOI), rotating through critical areas such as Kitchen, Sales, Showroom, and Gameroom, gaining broad operational experience. Responsibilities include managing product ordering, food safety, scheduling, overseeing party planning, maximizing showroom bookings, maintaining game and equipment functionality, and analyzing game play data. The position offers commission potential that varies between exempt and non-exempt status, providing financial rewards linked to membership and Fun Pass sales, paid out bi-weekly unless state law requires otherwise.
Candidates must possess effective communication, composure, resourcefulness, and strong ethics and integrity. They should excel at coaching, developing others, and managing time and priorities effectively. A high school diploma or GED, a minimum of one year managing people (preferably in food service), and being at least 21 years old (with possible local law exceptions) are required. The role also involves physical demands including lifting, standing, bending, and working in a dynamic environment with flashing lights, moving parts, and varying temperatures.
CEC Entertainment supports its employees with a competitive benefits package that includes telemedicine, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), tuition savings, and financial relief resources. Full-time employees enjoy comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid sick and vacation time, paid holidays, FSA/HSA options, life and disability insurance, and additional educational support. Part-time employees may also access fixed indemnity medical, dental, vision options, and voluntary life and short-term disability benefits. The company complies with state and local laws for paid sick leave and other benefits, and fosters an inclusive work environment, providing reasonable accommodations for disabilities.
CEC Entertainment is committed to equal opportunity employment, ensuring their workforce reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the guests they serve. This role offers candidates a chance to be part of a passionate team focused on creating the best place for kids and families to eat, play, and make happy memories every day.
