What is a cinema?

Cinema jobs refer to the various roles involved in operating a movie theater or working in the film exhibition industry. These positions can include ticket sellers, ushers, projectionists, concession stand workers, managers, and cleaners. Each role helps ensure that moviegoers have a smooth and enjoyable experience. Cinema staff are responsible for customer service, maintaining the theater environment, and sometimes handling technical aspects like running the film projector or managing digital screenings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cinema manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cinema Manager, you need strong leadership, organizational skills, and experience in retail or hospitality management, often supported by a relevant degree or diploma. Familiarity with ticketing systems, point-of-sale (POS) software, and scheduling tools is essential. Exceptional customer service, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for success in this role. These skills ensure smooth daily operations, a positive guest experience, and effective team management in a fast-paced entertainment environment.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in a cinema environment?

Professionals in cinema environments often encounter challenges such as managing large crowds during peak showtimes, ensuring technical equipment (like projectors and sound systems) operates smoothly, and delivering excellent customer service while addressing guest concerns. Team members must also work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate show schedules. Collaborating effectively with colleagues is essential to maintain smooth operations, handle ticketing, concessions, and resolve any unexpected issues that arise during screenings.

Bartender: Neighbor's Bar at NCG Cinema

Neighborhood Cinema

Kingsport, TN • On-site

Full-time

Posted 28 days ago

Job description

About Neighbor's Bar

Neighbor's Bar is the full-service lobby bar at NCG Cinemas – Kingsport. We're not your average concession stand — we offer handcrafted cocktails, batched cocktails, frozen drinks, mocktails, dirty sodas, beer, and wine in a high-energy, guest-first environment. Every shift brings a new crowd of moviegoers ready to kick off their night, and we want bartenders who bring the energy to match.

This is a fast-paced, people-forward role. If you love making drinks, love talking to people, and love the idea of working in one of Kingsport's most unique bar settings — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Craft and serve cocktails, frozen drinks, mocktails, beer, and wine to guests at the bar
  • Actively engage guests approaching the lobby — suggestively sell drinks and hot food before they even reach the counter
  • Deliver drinks and food to the hot food pickup area as needed during your shift
  • Scan IDs using the provided ID scanner at every alcohol transaction — no exceptions
  • Operate the Vista POS system accurately for all transactions
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked bar throughout your shift
  • Open and/or close the bar following established procedures
  • Complete weekly maintenance tasks including equipment cleaning and sanitizing
  • Assist with weekly inventory counts as directed by management
  • Communicate supply needs, equipment issues, or guest concerns to management

What We're Looking For

  • 21 years of age or older
  • Outgoing, confident, and guest-focused — you don't wait for guests to come to you
  • Prior bartending or bar service experience preferred, but not required
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment during show rushes and busy lobby periods
  • Comfortable standing for extended periods and working evenings and weekends
  • Reliable, punctual, and a strong team player
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to responsible alcohol service

Certification Requirements

All bartenders complete required certifications during the first two days of employment, before performing any bartending shifts.

  • Responsible Alcohol Service certification (Rserving) — completed on company time, paid for by Neighbors Bar

Certifications must remain current throughout employment. No certification = no shift.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly wage plus tips
  • Varied shifts including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays — aligned with theater showtimes
  • A one-of-a-kind work environment at NCG Cinemas
  • A growing bar program with room to develop your craft
  • Supportive team and clear expectations from day one
  • Free movies — enjoy the full NCG Cinemas experience on us
  • Discounts on concessions
