Sales & Growth

• Become a redemption pro so you can serve multiple guests at once, deliver a high level of guest experience choosing selections, or saving winnings, and get them eager to play more.
• Be on the lookout for ways to cut down on wait time, whether it’s using mobile stations to line bust at busy times, or a better way to interact with guests.
• Make sure you can easily navigate your food and beverage system to deliver the right order to the right guest fast—and troubleshoot any issues.
• Participate in training opportunities offered by your facility and team-building activities whenever possible.

Party Hosting

• Check guests in as they arrive, meeting them at the front of the FEC.
• Guide groups through the facility to the party area rather than leaving them to find the space on their own.
• Keep a look out for late arrivals at the front of the facility after the party has started.
• Accept and process payment from party parents in the last 30 minutes of a party to get feedback, finalize head counts and provide a simple and accurate invoice.
• Check on party guests’ needs and add any items (food, rentals, etc.) to the party’s event in your software to make check out accurate and easy.
• Stay within easy access of the group from the moment they enter and begin their activities to cutting the cake, even walking them to the door as appropriate.
