Job Description
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is a renowned leader in the dine-in theater industry, located at 8905 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, Colorado. The company has built a reputation for providing unique and memorable experiences through a combination of movie screenings, special presentations, creative scratch-kitchen food, and an extensive variety of beverages—all offered under one roof. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is committed to creating an environment where every guest and teammate not only enjoys their time but feels excited to return. This mission drives the company’s culture and operations, making it a preferred destination for entertainment and dining.
As an industry innovator, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema blends the best elements of hospitality, cinema, and culinary arts to deliver an unmatched customer experience. This fusion of entertainment and dining is affectionately known as “eatertainment,” and the company focuses heavily on maintaining high standards of quality and service that exceed guest expectations. The company prides itself on fostering a fun and authentic workplace, where employees can be themselves, contribute meaningfully, and perform awesome work. In addition, they offer competitive pay, flexible scheduling, paid time off, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, FSA, and HSA options available to all full-time and part-time teammates.
The role of General Manager at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is both dynamic and rewarding. This leadership position is ideal for a seasoned professional experienced in managing fast-paced, multifaceted operations, particularly within the full-service restaurant or eatertainment industries. The General Manager acts as a champion for the team, embodying the core company values and promoting the mission to ensure exceptional experiences for both guests and employees. This position holds full responsibility for the venue’s financial health, operating standards, guest satisfaction, and team development.
The General Manager plays a critical role in planning and executing strategies for sustainable revenue growth and cost management. They are expected to understand and communicate profit and loss statements while identifying financial opportunities and implementing measures to optimize sales and control expenses such as labor and cost of goods sold. Rigorous adherence to cash handling and financial protocols is also a significant responsibility.
In addition to financial leadership, the General Manager ensures the venue’s guest experience is consistently excellent by prioritizing customer satisfaction, maintaining venue cleanliness and operational equipment, and proactively seeking ways to enhance patron engagement. High inspection scores and well-kept entertainment features reflect their success in this area.
Leading the team is fundamental in this role. The General Manager guides and motivates management staff, fosters a strategic and supportive work environment, and develops succession plans to increase employee engagement and retention. They provide direct supervision and mentorship to essential management roles such as the Assistant General Manager and Kitchen Manager, ensuring departmental success.
Beyond operational execution, the General Manager actively contributes to the positive culture by espousing the company’s core values—doing the right thing, fostering community, boldly pursuing innovation, and passionately caring about every detail of the guest and teammate experience. These principles create a workplace where innovation thrives and every team member feels valued and supported.
Working with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema means joining a company that values kindness, inclusivity, respect, and continual growth. The General Manager position is more than a job; it is an opportunity to be part of a passionate team dedicated to delivering unforgettable experiences and setting industry benchmarks. Compensation for this role ranges from $78,000 to $90,000 annually, with an incentive bonus based on performance, reflecting the importance of leadership excellence to the company’s ongoing success.
