Established as a premier destination for families and children, CEC Entertainment has a proud heritage of fostering joy, fun, and memorable experiences through a unique blend of food, play, and entertainment. Serving over half a million birthdays annually, the brand is committed to the highest standards of safety, exemplified by initiatives such as the Kid Check program, and community engagement, with more than $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits. Honored for its leadership in innovation and workplace excellence, the company was recognized with the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and named one of America's Greatest Workplaces, reflecting its dedication to its employees' well-being and growth.

Within the culinary division, CEC Entertainment is currently hiring for Kitchen Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker positions.

Over 60% of management positions are filled through internal promotions, highlighting the company’s dedication to career development and employee empowerment. Employees are supported through various benefits including meal discounts, flexible schedules, scholarship opportunities, and employee referral programs. The workplace environment requires physical stamina to stand, bend, carry objects up to 50 pounds, and perform various movements throughout shifts, all while maintaining excellent customer service within a lively, interactive setting prone to flashing lights and noises.

CEC Entertainment values diversity and inclusivity, striving to reflect the varied communities they serve in their employee base. They maintain compliance with legal standards regarding background checks and fair hiring practices, including accommodating individuals with disabilities. Safety and sanitation are top priorities, upheld consistently to ensure the well-being of both staff and guests.

This role offers not only a job but the foundation for a rewarding career in a dynamic industry known for its community impact and sustained employee growth. The Kitchen Prep and Pizza Maker are integral team members who help execute the company’s mission of creating the perfect blend of food, fun, and family. Join CEC Entertainment to become a part of a vibrant culture with ample opportunity for advancement and the joy of making a positive difference in the lives of families everywhere.
