General Manager — Five Star Parks & Attractions
Casual dining operators: this one's for you.
If you can run a high-volume Olive Garden, BJ's, Chili's, Applebee's, Texas Roadhouse, Outback, Cheddar's, or any other casual dining brand at full tilt on a Saturday night — you can run a Five Star park.
You already know the playbook: prime cost, comp sales, P&L ownership, BOH/FOH leadership, brand standards, daily flash, line checks, pre-shifts, service recovery, guest scores, ticket times, and developing hourly teams into salaried managers.
We just have more profit centers per box. (And better hours.)
THE PITCH IN 30 SECONDS
Eleven brands. 27 parks. 13 states.
Five Star Parks & Attractions is one of the fastest-growing family entertainment platforms in the country. Our portfolio includes Adventure Ziplines of Branson, Celebration Station, Craig's Cruisers, Fun Land, LazerPort, Malibu Jack's, Scene75, SpeedZone, The Track Family Fun Parks, and Xtreme Racing (Branson + Pigeon Forge).
Bowling. Laser tag. Go-karts. Indoor coasters. Ziplines. Full-service kitchens. Full bars. Arcades that earn. Birthday cake by the case.
One promise to every guest: Safe. Clean. Fun.
RESTAURANT OPERATOR → FIVE STAR GM
The translation
• P&L ownership → P&L ownership with more revenue lines (food, beverage, attractions, games, parties, retail)
• Comp sales → Comp sales — we benchmark unit-over-unit, year-over-year, and against the company
• Brand standards → Brand standards — service playbooks, secret shops, audits, steps of service
• Catering & group sales → Parties + corporate events — some units run $1M+ in group business alone
• Speed of service → Throughput — karts loaded in 90 seconds, food run in 12, party rooms turned in 15
• Hourly development → Hourly development — we hire 40 to 150+ team members per box
WHERE THIS TAKES YOU
We are growing fast. And we promote like it.
• GM → Multi-Unit GM
• GM → Regional Director / RVP of Operations
• GM → New-Build / Acquisition Integration Lead
• GM → Corporate Operator (Ops, Training, F&B, Games, Sales)
Several of our current RVPs were GMs in this company a few years ago. Ask us — we'll introduce you.
If you're hungry, coachable, and own your numbers, we will run out of jobs before we run out of room for you.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• 5+ years GM or strong AGM in casual dining, polished casual, family dining, fast casual, eat-ertainment, or hotel F&B
• A real P&L operator who can read a daily flash, defend a forecast, and tell me their last unit's prime cost from memory
• Multi-revenue-line experience a plus
• ServSafe + TIPS (or willingness to certify)
• Available nights, weekends, holidays, and peak seasons — that's when families show up
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
• Competitive base + performance bonus tied to the lines you actually move
• Better hours than a restaurant — we close earlier most nights
• Full benefits, 401(k), PTO
• Free play for you and your people
• Real development, real mentorship, and a real seat at the table
