Cheese is known for celebrating over half a million birthdays annually, making it a go-to destination for families looking to create joyful, lasting memories. The brand operates with a strong commitment to safety, supported by programs such as Kid Check® and significant community involvement, including donations exceeding $24 million to schools and nonprofits. In 2025, Chuck E.

Peter Piper Pizza complements this portfolio by offering a neighborhood pizzeria experience filled with quality food and engaging entertainment. The brand's philosophy, "The Fun is Baked In," highlights its mission to blend amusement and connection, bringing families and communities together daily. Both brands encourage play through various attractions, supporting physical wellness and enhancing motor skills in children. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and more than 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment continues to grow while fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, and fun.
The Assistant Manager role at Chuck E. Cheese is an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to advance their management career within a beloved family entertainment industry leader. This position is high-energy and high-reward, designed for candidates who are passionate about leading teams and delivering outstanding experiences to guests.

Commissions are paid bi-weekly, subject to state laws. The position demands the ability to work 40 hours a week, manage multiple priorities, and demonstrate key leadership skills such as effective communication, resourcefulness, composure, and integrity.
