CEC Entertainment is dedicated to creating joyful and lasting memories through fun, food, and play, celebrating over half a million birthdays annually at their venues. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and more than 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment is a staple in family entertainment and community engagement.

CEC Entertainment’s commitment to safety, innovation, and employee well-being has earned the company prestigious accolades, including the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces. The company invests heavily in employee development, with over 60% of managers promoted from within and robust programs fostering diversity, inclusion, and a vibrant workplace culture. Their focus on safety extends beyond employees to guests through initiatives like Kid Check and contributing more than $24 million in donations to schools and nonprofits.

The Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker roles at Chuck E. Cheese are integral to delivering fresh and exciting food options that complement the family fun atmosphere. These roles support the company’s promise of quality food prepared in a "no-fry" kitchen environment, focusing on pizza, salads, and wings. Employees in these positions have the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment that emphasizes teamwork, customer service, and operational excellence.

This position is hourly, with a competitive pay rate ranging from $16.90 to $17.90 per hour, and offers exciting commission potential for both exempt and non-exempt employees based on membership and Fun Pass sales. The company also provides a unique "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, enabling employees to access earned wages without waiting for traditional pay cycles. Chuck E. Cheese emphasizes flexible schedules, accommodating varying availability, and embraces a culture of ongoing learning and career growth.

Food prep and pizza maker team members play a vital role in ensuring that guests receive high-quality meals quickly and efficiently. Employees are empowered to cross-train across various kitchen and food preparation roles, enhancing skills and career opportunities.
