Job Description
CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a renowned leader in family dining and entertainment, nationally recognized for operating iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. The company is committed to creating a joyful, lasting experience for families through fun, food, and play. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment has fostered a culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion, promoting safety and community support. The company's dedication extends beyond entertainment; they have contributed over $24 million to schools and nonprofits and have been honored with awards such as "Best in STEM" and recognition as one of America's Greatest Workplaces. These accolades highlight not only their innovative approach to family entertainment but also their commitment to employee well-being and development.
The role of the Assistant Manager at Chuck E. Cheese represents a critical leadership position within this dynamic and high-energy environment.

This role offers a great opportunity to develop and advance your management career in a vibrant setting where family fun and quality service intersect.
Your responsibilities will span operational decision-making, staff scheduling, and maintaining high standards for cleanliness and product quality.

This broad experience aims to give you comprehensive insights into store management functions, including food safety, inventory control, financial oversight, guest experience, and technical maintenance within the gameroom.
In addition to operational skills, you will be expected to demonstrate strong leadership qualities such as coaching, communication, composure, resourcefulness, ethical behavior, and time management. Essential physical requirements, including the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform various physical activities throughout your shift, reflect the active nature of the work. The work environment may include exposure to flashing lights, mechanical parts, loud noises, and temperature variations.
CEC Entertainment takes the health and safety of its guests and employees seriously, maintaining rigorous health and sanitation standards to exceed local requirements. The company also offers reasonable accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to perform their job functions effectively.
