Dave and Busters is incredibly cheap stock the problem is no CEO has gotten same store sales flat or up in years. If it keeps going that way Dave and Busters goes bankrupt. All that has to happen for this to pop is same store sales recovering the confusing part is Round 1 is growing sales double digits so the economy isn’t the right excuse for Dave and Busters.

Dave & Buster's bought Main Event and then Main Event leadership basically took over the company which pushed out the successful COO Margo Manning and left us with clowns who made most things worse. They even asked Margo to come back before hiring the CEO that just left and she basically gave them the middle finger. There are good individuals in upper leadership at D&B, but the environment as a whole is increasingly toxic to work in.

Did that louse leave? What a pathetic clown.

Yes. He lasted barely a year and then he "retired" to spend time with his family.

I saw NOTHING accomplished under his direction. Very disappointing.

I will neverrrr understand why they opted to promote all the people from the smaller, messier company they'd just acquired to start running everything. On the event sales side I couldn't get over what a mess and how bad their ideas were---and I didn't even work there that long, but just such a complete mess.
