Weekend Manager — Thunderzone
Douglasville, GALead the fun. Own the weekend. Join a family that means it.
Thunderzone isn't just a job it's the best three days of everyone's week, and we need someone strong enough to run it. If you can walk into chaos and leave calm, coach a team through a packed Saturday night, and still crack a joke while doing it, we want to talk to you.
About Thunderzone
Thunderzone is a family-owned and operated entertainment destination featuring a bowling alley, arcade, two-story laser tag arena, and virtual rabbid experience. Our in-house bar, JR's, offers indoor and outdoor seating, billiards, darts, and cornhole. We're committed to giving friends and families a place to make lasting memories and that starts with a team that feels like family too.
This Is You
You handle every customer the same way thrilled or frustrated with patience, tact, and a smile that doesn't quit. You don't flinch when the floor is slammed and you're short-staffed, and you don't get lazy when it's slow. You catch details nobody else does, especially when it comes to payroll and cash handling. You communicate clearly, you lead from the floor, and you treat your team like family because at Thunderzone, that's exactly what they are.
