Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. These establishments are dedicated to creating joyful, lasting memories through fun, food, and play, with Chuck E. Cheese celebrating over half a million birthdays annually. The company embodies the philosophy of being "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®," committed to safety and community support.

Cheese was honored with the "Best in STEM" award and named one of America's Greatest Workplaces, reflecting its industry leadership in innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza complements the family's dining experience by offering quality food and engaging entertainment, emphasizing that "The Fun is Baked In." Through diverse attractions and amusements, both Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza promote physical wellness and support motor skill development in children. CEC Entertainment and its franchisees operate nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, fostering a culture of diversity, fun, and family unity.

The role offered by CEC Entertainment targets individuals passionate about contributing to the fun and excitement of this family-centered environment. The company is currently hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers for their kitchen operations. These positions play a crucial role in feeding the fun by preparing a variety of menu items such as pizzas, salads, and wings without using fry techniques, making it a no-fry kitchen. The work environment is dynamic, requiring employees to handle kitchen prep efficiently while maintaining health and sanitation standards, which are rigorous to protect both guests and team members. CEC empowers its team members by cross-training them in multiple positions, and more than 60% of managers are promoted from within, highlighting solid career development opportunities.

Employees enjoy the innovative "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, which allows them to access earned wages promptly instead of waiting for scheduled paychecks. This feature supports financial flexibility for team members. Other benefits include competitive pay, flexible schedules to accommodate diverse needs, a 50% meal discount during shifts, scholarships, employee referral programs, and a support fund called the CEC Cares Fund for assistance during catastrophes. These comprehensive perks reinforce CEC’s commitment to employee satisfaction and well-being.

The position requires the ability to lift or carry objects up to 50 pounds, stand, bend, kneel, reach, push/pull, walk, and squat during shifts. It also demands an energetic and enthusiastic personality, excellent customer service skills, and the ability to work various shifts. Working at CEC Entertainment means being part of a team that values diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring a respectful and welcoming workplace for all employees. CEC is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate based on race, gender, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected class, reflecting its dedication to a fair and inclusive culture.
