Job Description
CEC Entertainment, LLC is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment, known primarily for operating the iconic Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade brands. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, CEC Entertainment is dedicated to creating joyful, lasting memories for kids and families through a unique blend of fun, food, and play. The company serves communities across 45 states and 18 countries, operating nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues. Both brands emphasize engaging entertainment and quality food, making them popular destinations for family outings, birthday celebrations, and community events.
Chuck E. Cheese stands out as a safe and trusted place where kids can be kids, boasting an impressive record of celebrating over half a million birthdays annually. Their rigorous health and sanitation policies, including the innovative Kid Check program, underscore the company's commitment to guest and employee safety. The brand’s influence extends beyond entertainment, with notable community contributions including over $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits. The company’s culture highlights diversity, inclusion, and employee well-being, reflected in accolades like the "Best in STEM" award and being named one of America's Greatest Workplaces in 2025.
CEC Entertainment is now hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers to join their dynamic kitchen teams. These roles are integral to the company's mission of serving great food while creating fun-filled experiences. The kitchen environments focus on easy, no-fry food preparation, specializing in pizza, salads, and wings. This role is ideal for first-time job seekers or those looking to build an exciting career in the food and entertainment industry, with many management positions historically filled by employees promoted from within.
The Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker positions offer competitive hourly wages ranging from $16.90 to $17.90, along with commission potentials on membership and Fun Pass sales, distributed bi-weekly. One notable benefit is the "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, which allows employees early access to earned wages, a feature supportive of financial wellbeing and flexibility. Additional employee perks include a 50% discount on meals during shifts, scholarships, referral programs, flexible schedules, and a special assistance fund for employees facing catastrophic events.
Employees in these roles must be at least 16 years old (with exceptions based on local laws), exhibit excellent customer service skills, and maintain a vibrant, enthusiastic demeanor to contribute positively to the family-friendly atmosphere. Candidates should be physically capable of lifting up to 50 pounds and able to perform job functions such as standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting during shifts. The work environment can include loud noises, flashing and flickering lights, and moving mechanical parts, conditions typical of busy food preparation and entertainment venues.
CEC Entertainment is an Equal Opportunity Employer dedicated to reflecting diverse backgrounds and perspectives, ensuring inclusivity across race, gender, orientation, age, and other protected classes. The company also commits to making reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions. Through its strong emphasis on employee development, safety, and inclusion, CEC Entertainment offers a thriving and rewarding workplace for those eager to make a difference in the family entertainment industry.
