We're looking for someone who can create experiences.
As our Director of Operations, you'll oversee multiple high-volume eatertainment venues where great food is only part of the equation. Our guests come for the games, attractions, events, and energy just as much as they come for the menu.
This role requires a leader who understands hospitality, entertainment, financial performance, and people development. You'll partner with General Managers to build high-performing teams, deliver unforgettable guest experiences, and drive profitable growth across the region.
If you've successfully led complex, high-volume operations where restaurants and entertainment intersect, we want to talk.

- Work closely with Culinary, Facilities, HR, Finance, and Training to support operational excellence.
- Recruit, develop, and retain future operational leaders.
- Lead new store openings, acquisitions, remodels, and major operational initiatives.
- Ensure compliance with all health, alcohol, gaming, safety, and company standards.
