Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company operates 26 premium theaters across multiple states including California, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, Maryland, and Ohio.

The company is recognized for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, positioning itself as a pioneer in the entertainment and hospitality industry.
The role available is a full-time, exempt management position based within the operations department at one of their theaters. Reporting directly to the General Manager, this position plays a critical role in ensuring exceptional food service and operational excellence behind the scenes. The offered base pay ranges from $70,000 to $75,000 annually, reflecting the importance of this leadership role within the organization.
As a Cinepolis team member, staff are valued highly and receive rewarding benefits including generous employee discounts on tickets, food, and nonalcoholic beverages, as well as gifts for reaching milestone work anniversaries.

The manager coordinates weekly kitchen staff schedules based on theater occupancy forecasts, movie schedules, and employee availability to optimize operational efficiency.
Controlling food costs and usage is a key responsibility, alongside managing budget goals and company initiatives such as new menu item rollouts.
