Dave & Buster’s hiring for new Gainesville store

An interviewing event at the Hotel Indigo this week is helping the new Gainesville location of Dave & Buster’s move closer to its February grand opening.

The restaurant/entertainment center is in the process of hiring 125 people for the Gainesville location. While several positions have been filled, the venue still has openings for servers, bartenders and cooks, a company spokesperson said.

Most of the remaining open jobs in Gainesville are part-time, but Dave & Buster’s does offer full-time positions. More than 30 percent of the Dallas-based company’s management was promoted from within the company, according to a company press release.
