The role available at CEC Entertainment is for Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers within the kitchen team. This position supports the company’s mission by helping prepare orders, including pizza, salads, and wings, in a no-fry kitchen environment. As a member of the kitchen team, employees assist with food preparation to ensure quick and efficient service, contributing directly to the fun and memorable experience for guests. This role is ideal for first-time job seekers or those looking to build an exciting career in the food and entertainment industry.

This role requires energetic, enthusiastic individuals who possess excellent customer service skills and are willing to work various shifts. Physical demands include the ability to lift objects weighing up to 50 pounds and perform tasks involving standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting. The working environment involves exposure to flashing and flickering lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises.
