What is Kefi? It’s both a Greek word, and a new place for kids and families to hang out together. 

At its heart, Kefi is a reimagined space for families where parents recharge, and kids learn to develop the superpowers they’ll one day use to change the world. It’s part playground, part work space, part coffee shop, part theme park, part high tech gaming arena, plus a lot of other parts left to be explored.

Our first location in Atlanta will be a 25,000 sq. ft. retreat for families and communities to play, explore and become closer. Kefi play experiences will use tomorrow’s technology and story-based adventures for children to learn and play together.

The Assistant General Manager (AGM) leads their team in the consistent delivery of the Kefi hospitality experience to our ‘friends’ (our customers) – children and adults alike. Ultimately the AGM’s role is to proactively manage all spaces within the location to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests, in a way that stimulates and enriches continued play. 

The AGM is a positive servant-leader with a passion for hospitality and fun, along with the grit and desire to grow as a leader of people and operations. Combining exceptional work ethic with planning, process, and problem-solving skills, the AGM executes Kefi’s mission to create more moments of play for others. The AGM role is a training ground for future GMs and each AGM is charged with fostering relationships, experiences, and inspiring environments. As a result, a Kefi AGM is a dedicated self-learner with a passion for development and a hunger for increased responsibility. He/she actively and enthusiastically pursues opportunities to learn the business from the ground up, and is committed to growing his/her management and leadership abilities. The AGM responsibilities include but are not limited to:
