Job Description

Puttshack USA, headquartered in Chicago, IL, is an innovative entertainment and hospitality company that revolutionized the mini golf experience when it opened its first location in 2021. Unlike traditional mini golf venues, Puttshack offers an upscale, tech-infused environment that appeals to all ages and interests. The company has successfully blended entertainment with culinary excellence, providing guests not only with interactive indoor mini golf but also world-class food and a full bar in a vibrant and cool atmosphere. Puttshack has quickly become a sought-after destination for social gatherings, corporate events, and family outings, all focused on creating fun, memorable moments together.

Puttshack is looking to grow its team with fun, dedicated hospitality associates who are passionate about providing an elevated, unique guest experience. The Reception position plays a crucial role in setting the tone for visitors by delivering warm welcomes and guiding guests throughout the venue. This role is essential in ensuring that every guest's experience is comfortable, seamless, and enjoyable from the moment they arrive. The Receptionist checks in reservations, assists guests with seating arrangements for dining, manages cloakroom services, and supports the interactive gameplay experience by helping with kiosk check-ins. This role demands a highly personable individual with enthusiasm, strong communication skills, and the ability to remain composed while handling guest inquiries or concerns.

Working at Puttshack involves flexible scheduling as the venues operate seven days a week, generally from late morning until past midnight. This flexibility caters to individuals who require variable hours between 15 and 30 hours per week. The company values adaptability alongside a commitment to excellence, with team members encouraged to bring their energy and best attitude every day. Besides core duties, employees may be involved in ensuring cleanliness around the reception and guest areas, assisting with opening and closing responsibilities, and embracing teamwork through collaboration and following company policies in the Associate Handbook.

Puttshack offers a comprehensive benefits package recognized for being inclusive and supportive. Eligible full-time associates can benefit from competitive pay, health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, life insurance, paid time off, and exclusive associate discounts such as free mini golf access and significant savings on dining. Even part-time and variable hour employees receive some benefits, contributing to a positive work environment. Puttshack is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering a diverse workplace by maintaining policies against discrimination and harassment. This company culture encourages team members to thrive while delivering an exceptional guest experience at the intersection of hospitality and entertainment.
