Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment. The company proudly operates iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment is committed to creating joyful and lasting memories for families through fun, food, and play. Chuck E. Cheese celebrates over half a million birthdays annually and is dedicated to children’s safety through innovative programs like Kid Check®. The company is deeply invested in community support, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits. This commitment to excellence and community earned Chuck E. Cheese the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, highlighting its leadership both in innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza offers a neighborhood pizzeria experience that combines quality food with engaging entertainment, creating lifelong memories for families. Fun is not just an added feature; it is baked into every aspect of the experience. Both Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza promote play through attractions that support physical wellness and develop motor skills in children. CEC Entertainment fosters a culture of diversity and inclusion, celebrating the power of fun and play to unite families of all backgrounds. The company also emphasizes career growth and internal promotion, with over 60 percent of managers promoted from within.

CEC Entertainment is currently hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers to join their energetic and family-friendly teams. This role primarily involves preparing orders and assisting with food preparation in a no-fry kitchen environment that includes pizza, salads, and wings. The position is ideal for those seeking a first-time job or an exciting career in the food service and family entertainment industry. Employees enjoy competitive hourly pay ranging from $16.90 to $17.90, along with commission opportunities based on sales of memberships and fun passes. The company’s innovative "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program allows employees to access earned wages without waiting for the standard pay cycle.

As a Food Prep and Pizza Maker, candidates must bring an energetic and enthusiastic personality, excellent customer service skills, and availability for various shifts. The role requires physical stamina, such as the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform tasks requiring standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting. The work environment is dynamic and involves exposure to flashing lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises, which requires employees to manage job stress and interact effectively with guests and team members.

CEC Entertainment is committed to creating a safe and welcoming workplace. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, and reasonable accommodations are available for individuals with disabilities. The company maintains rigorous health and sanitation standards that exceed local requirements to protect team members and guests. As an equal opportunity employer, CEC values diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, fostering an inclusive environment free from discrimination based on race, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, or other protected classes.

Joining CEC Entertainment means becoming part of a company that values its workforce, supports career development through job training and advancement opportunities, and offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, and a 401(k) retirement plan. Employees enjoy perks such as a 50 percent meal discount during shifts, flexible schedules, scholarships, a referral program, and an employee assistance fund known as the CEC Cares Fund.
