Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade brands. With a rich legacy of fun, food, and play, CEC Entertainment is devoted to creating memorable experiences for families and children. The company celebrates more than half a million birthdays annually and is recognized for its dedication to safety, community support, and innovative programs such as Kid Check®. CEC has donated millions to schools and nonprofits and received accolades such as the "Best in STEM" award and being named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces in 2025. These honors reflect the company's commitment not only to customer satisfaction but also to creating a supportive, innovative work environment.

Chuck E. Cheese is more than just a brand; it is a symbol of joy and family-friendly entertainment. The company thrives on its mission to be “Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®,” offering an atmosphere where kids and families can enjoy great food and interactive play. Peter Piper Pizza complements this experience by providing a neighborhood pizza establishment focused on quality food and vibrant entertainment where "The Fun is Baked In." With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment fosters a culture of inclusion, creativity, and playfulness.

CEC Entertainment is currently hiring for positions including Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers. These roles are essential to delivering the company’s promise of food and fun. Kitchen Prep and Pizza Makers specifically help feed the fun by preparing food orders and assisting with food preparation in a no-fry kitchen environment, focusing on items like pizza, salads, and wings. The company promotes career growth, offering opportunities to cross-train and develop skills in various positions. Over 60% of managers within CEC were promoted from within, highlighting the company's investment in nurturing talent.

The roles come with competitive hourly pay ranging from $16.90 to $17.90, plus commission opportunities linked to membership and Fun Pass sales. This diverse compensation framework encourages and rewards employee success. CEC also offers a "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, giving employees access to their wages daily, enhancing financial flexibility and security.

CEC Entertainment values a vibrant and positive workplace culture that embraces diversity and inclusivity. Their commitment is reflected in comprehensive health and safety standards and strong policies for equal opportunity employment. The company actively supports employees' overall well-being through benefits like medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, as well as a 401(k) retirement plan. Employees enjoy flexible schedules, scholarships, meal discounts, referral programs, and emergency assistance through the CEC Cares Fund.

In these roles, employees must be enthusiastic, energetic, and customer service oriented. Physical demands include the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and mobility tasks like standing, bending, kneeling, squatting, and walking during shifts. The work environment involves exposure to typical restaurant noises and elements, including flashing lights and moving parts, requiring a capacity to manage job stress and interact positively with team members and guests.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking an energetic work environment where they can grow professionally while contributing to memorable family experiences. Whether a first-time job seeker or someone looking to advance in the restaurant and entertainment industries, CEC Entertainment fosters an engaging and supportive atmosphere to thrive.
