  • Create and maintain staff schedules to ensure proper coverage — especially during peak times (evenings, weekends, holidays). 

  • Set performance goals and conduct performance evaluations; provide coaching and feedback. 

  • Promote a positive, customer focused culture within the team. 

  • Ensure compliance with company policies, procedures, and standards. 

Guest Experience & Customer Service 

  • Ensure the highest levels of guest satisfaction by addressing and resolving customer complaints and issues in a timely and professional manner. 

  • Uphold standards for theater ambiance, cleanliness, staff appearance, food and beverage, and service delivery. 

  • Monitor customer feedback and implement improvements. 

  • Coordinate with marketing/advertising to promote films, events, promotions, and community outreach. 

Marketing, Sales & Community Relations 

  • Work with corporate or local marketing to plan and execute promotions, loyalty programs, special events, and group bookings. 

  • Develop relationships with local businesses, schools, organizations, and civic groups to drive group sales and events. 

  • Represent the theater in the community (e.g., local chambers, events). 

Qualifications & Skills 

  • Management experience, ideally in entertainment, hospitality, or retail. 

  • Theater experience preferred but not required. 

  • Leadership and people skills: ability to motivate, develop, and manage a diverse team. 

  • Excellent customer service, communication, and conflict resolution skills. 

  • Capability to make decisions under pressure, manage multiple priorities, and adapt to changing situations. 

  • Proficient with point-of-sale (POS), scheduling software, and standard office tools (Excel, reporting). 

  • Understanding of projection, sound, and theater technical systems is a plus. 

  • Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required by the business. 

Working Conditions 

  • The role is full-time and typically requires presence in the theater during nights and weekends. 

  • The General Manager may need to respond to emergencies (technical failures, security, facility issues) outside normal hours. 

  • Frequent walking, standing, and occasional lifting (moving supplies, equipment) may be required.
