The role of Runner at Cinepolis is an essential position within the Operations Department, reporting directly to the General Manager. This non-exempt position plays a key role in ensuring smooth service delivery by carefully managing food and drink orders to guests while fostering an atmosphere of hospitality and engagement. Runners serve as the crucial link between the kitchen, bar, and customers, ensuring that orders are accurate, complete, and delivered promptly.

This position is well-suited for candidates who are passionate about hospitality, enjoy working in fast-paced environments, and appreciate teamwork and guest interaction. It requires individuals to be detail-oriented, communicate effectively, and handle difficult situations with professionalism and a positive outlook. The role also involves physical activity, including walking, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting moderate weights, all within the vibrant environment of a cinema. Cinepolis encourages a diverse and inclusive workforce and provides reasonable accommodations to ensure all employees can perform their duties successfully.

Overall, the Runner position at Cinepolis USA offers a dynamic and rewarding opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking company in the entertainment and hospitality industry that values its team members and strives for service excellence.
