Seeking a Guest Experience Ambassador: Concierge needed
At Alamo Drafthouse, our passion is to ensure every GUEST has an AWESOME experience and is EXCITED to come back. Our concierge team differentiates us from our competitors by taking the lead to exceed our guests’ expectations every time. The team acts as the information hub for our theaters; they are the first team members to greet our guests and keep them informed of the exciting events Alamo Drafthouse has to offer.
To be a member of our concierge team; you are focused on setting the stage for our guests by welcoming everyone who enters through our doors and wowing them with your dedication to provide exceptional customer service. A successful guest experience ambassador will exhibit a positive can-do personality that will not only impress a guest in person, it will translate seamlessly through phone conversations. Our concierge team members are cool under pressure and take ownership of ensuring a guest never leaves upset. While no two days are alike and we may get really busy; we are a group of people who promote teamwork, encourage a fun work environment, and share common goals of creating memorable experiences for our guests.
Picture yourself as a Concierge where you would have the opportunity to:

• Set the scene. You are the brand ambassador for Alamo Drafthouse and set the vibe for our guests’ experience. No matter if it is a guest’s first time visiting us or their 100th, you set them up to always have a great time!
• Help others. There may be a line of people waiting on you (some could even be upset) and the phone is ringing, but you are calm and collected under pressure. You are a skillful communicator and able to use those skills to cool off a heated situation to help our guests. Having a positive attitude, willingness to create great guest experiences, knowing the surrounding area, and ability to speak about events happening at the theater will be the greatest tools in your arsenal.
• Be accountable. You take pride in upholding high standards, being on time, and diplomatically enforcing our company/brand policies (which includes strict late/age policies). In addition to upholding high standards, you are great at managing a cash drawer and accounting for transactions entered in our point of sale system (POS).
• Show flexibility and ability to adapt. Information changes in the blink of an eye, but you are good with change. In fact, change is a spice of life for you. You have a passion to learn new information (including about our computer systems, movies, food and drinks) and share the knowledge. Your workspace may be in front of a bar and a guest may assume that you are a bartender. If you already have those skills, great! If not, basic beer/spirit knowledge goes a long way.
• Play the role of detective. With little information, you are able to assess a situation and resolve it. The concierge enjoys being the go-to person when a guest can’t find their bartender/server/manager/spouse/child/parent. If a situation arises, you are prepared to take ownership of the problem and solves it (or involve the right people to help).
