Job Description

Five Star Parks & Attractions is a distinguished leader in the amusement and hospitality industry, renowned for creating unforgettable moments and delivering exceptional family entertainment experiences both indoors and outdoors across the United States. As the largest privately owned operator of family entertainment centers in the U.S., Five Star Parks & Attractions has built a reputation not only for fun but for fostering a workplace where growth is genuine and daily contributions make a significant impact. The company prides itself on cultivating an inclusive culture where employees feel they truly belong, whether starting their first job, seeking flexible work arrangements, or pursuing a long-term career in a dynamic environment.

This particular opportunity is for a part-time Cook position located at Scene 75 Dayton, OH. The role is integral to ensuring guests have a positive and memorable dining experience while upholding the highest standards of food quality, safety, and service. The cook is responsible for preparing menu items consistently and with an emphasis on presentation and hygiene. While kitchen experience is preferred, it is not mandatory, as the position offers an opportunity to learn and grow within a professional kitchen setting. The candidate selected will demonstrate an ownership mentality, emphasizing teamwork, motivation, and accountability for maintaining sanitary conditions and food safety as per company and regulatory standards.

In this role, the cook will work collaboratively with the team to meet and exceed guest expectations, ensuring every meal is portioned accurately to minimize food costs without compromising on quality. Safety is paramount; the cook must ensure the work environment is free from any hazards that could cause injury to staff or guests and promptly address practices that undermine safety standards. The position requires the ability to operate POS systems and use basic mathematical skills to manage orders effectively. Additionally, strong reasoning abilities are needed to navigate a variety of instructions and solve practical problems when standard solutions may not apply.

Physically, the role demands stamina and agility as the cook will be frequently walking, standing for extended periods, bending, twisting, and lifting objects up to 50 pounds. Flexibility to work during holidays and weekends is essential. Five Star Parks & Attractions is committed to equal employment opportunities and actively fosters diversity and inclusion within the workplace. The company participates in the E-Verify program and conducts background checks when required, ensuring that all employees meet the stipulated employment criteria. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who values a supportive, energetic, and family-focused work environment and is eager to contribute to creating memorable experiences for all visitors.
