  • Maintain sanitation and safety compliance
  • Support marketing efforts, events, and social media as needed
  • Manage retail game sales and the game library, including regular inventory
  • Stay current on food, hospitality, and board game trends
  • Jump in wherever needed — other duties as they come up

What You'll Bring

  • 2+ years managing in a high-volume restaurant
  • Comfort with cash handling and alcohol service compliance
  • Ability to stand/walk for extended periods; occasionally lift up to 50 lbs, bend, reach, stoop, kneel, or crouch
  • Knowledge of board games, TCGs, or RPGs a plus
  • Retail experience a plus, not required
  • Positive, flexible energy and a genuine passion for hospitality — you'll rely on your team, and they'll rely on you
