The Job

The Venue Applications Support Analyst plays a pivotal role by ensuring technology at our venues functions seamlessly. Whether it be inputting system data or troubleshooting technical issues, the Venue Applications Support Team (VAST) is the go-to resource for thousands of end‑user operators throughout our amphitheaters, clubs, and theatres. Point‑of‑Sale (PoS) applications support is the focus of the role, although VAST supports a variety of systems including CCTV, Digital Signage, Time & Attendance, and more. The majority of support is provided remotely, but onsite venue engagements throughout the US are common. Given that our events are crucial revenue‑earning opportunities—and often occur after conventional business hours—VAST Analysts provide on‑call support on a rotating basis, often “saving the day” when IT issues arise during a show.

What This Role Will Do

• Input PoS data: menu items, prices, discounts, employee credentials, venue layouts, etc. Adhere to strict standards for maintaining system data integrity
• Diagnose device malfunctions including: software, hardware, and peripheral accessories
• Author end‑user guides to improve understanding & usability of the system for operators
• Test new versions of software frequently and thoroughly
• Document frequency of issues and escalate systemic problems accordingly

• Provide exceptional customer service to users with varying technical aptitude
• Travel to venues for software implementations and support

What This Person Will Bring

• Minimum 1-year experience supporting PoS systems (preferably Appetize and/or Micros)
• Exceptional attention to detail for identifying patterns and curating obscure system data
• Intermediate knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including use of formulas and pivot tables
• Experience with food and beverage business operations, ideally multi‑location enterprises
• Diligence in troubleshooting complex problems with little information to reach resolution
• Ability to reprioritize tasks rapidly without missing deadlines in an ever‑changing business
• Identify risk of missing deadlines and collaboratively exchange tasks with teammates
• Outstanding customer service etiquette through written and verbal communications
• Positive, driven attitude; focus on opportunity in difficulty—not difficulty in an opportunity
• Basic familiarity with Accounting practices (can balance finances/inventory, etc.)
• Degree/Certificate relevant to technology from accredited university will help; not required
• Willingness to travel up to 30%, possibly more during peak season (March – October)
