This role is the face of the store welcoming walk-in guests, answering questions about what Zero Latency is, handling bookings, and guiding groups through briefing, equipment setup, and live game operations. You'll be responsible for creating a smooth, fun, and safe guest experience while juggling multiple priorities supporting current players and giving walk-in customers high attention without making anyone feel ignored. If you're confident with people, calm under pressure, and excited about VR, this is for you. Core Job Responsibilities Guest Reception & Sales Support Welcome all guests with a friendly, professional first impression at the front desk/reception. Handle walk-in customers with urgency and care: explain what Zero Latency VR is, how sessions work, pricing/packages, and how to book. Answer phones, respond to basic questions, and help convert inquiries into bookings.

Upsell appropriately (extra players, add-ons, future bookings, memberships/packages if offered) while keeping the experience pressure-free.

Escort guests to the briefing room and deliver a clear, confident pre-game briefing. Explain game rules, objectives, safety guidelines, and how to use the equipment and controls. Adjust your briefing style for different groups (families, first-timers, corporate events, birthdays). Equipment Setup & Player Support Prepare, clean, and maintain VR equipment before and after each session (headsets, backpacks/PCs, controllers, straps, batteries, sanitizer). Fit equipment properly on each guest (comfort, safety, visibility) and troubleshoot common issues quickly (audio, tracking, controller pairing). Ensure guests are comfortable and ready before entering the arena. Game Master Operations (Live Session Control) Launch and run VR sessions as the Game Master from the operator station. Monitor live cameras/game feeds to ensure safety, fairness, and a great experience. Provide real-time guidance, tips, and support to players during gameplay. Respond calmly and quickly to interruptions or issues (equipment malfunction, guest discomfort, safety concerns). Reset the arena and systems efficiently between groups to stay on schedule. Multitasking & Service Excellence Seamlessly assist walk-in customers during active sessions while ensuring current players still feel fully supported.

Prioritize intelligently:

guest safety and current session needs first, while acknowledging new arrivals immediately and setting expectations ("I'll be right with you in 30 seconds").

Help train new team members on briefing quality, equipment procedures, and guest flow.
