Multi-location family entertainment centers across the Southeast
Stars and Strikes operates 1,000+ employees across a regional chain of entertainment facilities mixing bowling, arcade, laser tag, dining, and event hosting. The tech stack is lean—Excel, Google Workspace, Adobe, and Micros POS—reflecting a brick-and-mortar operations-focused business with 282 operations staff but only 29 engineers and minimal adopting/replacing activity, signaling limited digital transformation momentum. Core friction points cluster around labor cost management, inventory tracking, and training consistency across locations, which a centralized or automated system could address.
Stars and Strikes owns and operates family entertainment centers across the Southeast, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Cumming, Georgia. Each location combines bowling lanes, arcade games, laser tag, bumper cars, and a restaurant/bar to serve families, corporate groups, and private events. Revenue streams include venue rentals, food service, league memberships, and special events. The company is actively hiring across 340 open roles with a strong operations-to-engineering ratio, reflecting the capital-intensive, location-dependent nature of the business.
Primary tools are Excel, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Micros POS. Engineering stack includes Python, LabVIEW, and CAN protocol support—likely for facility controls (HVAC, lighting, equipment diagnostics).
Labor cost management, COGS control, inventory tracking, inconsistent training across locations, and identifying kitchen waste. Projects focus on league sales, restaurant promotions, revenue forecasting, and guest experience ownership.
