All of that translates here — and then some. Because a Five Star park isessentially acasual dining restaurant with an arcade, an attractions deck, a party sales team, and a redemption counter bolted on. Multiple revenue lines. Bigger AUVs.

THE ROLE

Mayor of the building. As a Five Star Assistant General Manager, you own the four walls and everything inside them. Full P&L. FOH and BOH. Salaried managers and hourly crew. Food, beverage, attractions, games, retail, parties, and corporate events. The line at the prize counter on a rainy Saturday. The party room turnover at 4:15 when the next group is already in the lobby. This is not a desk job. Expect to spend 70%+ of your shift on the floor — touching tables, running expo when it gets weeded, walking the line,openingand closing with your team, working pre-shift like you mean it. The other 30%isforecasting, scheduling, ordering, vendor calls, P&L reviews, and the occasional vendor lunch. You'llreport to a Regional VP of Operations who came up exactly this way and is genuinely invested in you taking their job someday. What you already do well, just bigger P&L ownership → P&L ownership. Prime cost, laborpercent, food cost, beverage cost, controllables, EBITDA.
