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, delivering joyful experiences to families and communities across 45 states and 18 countries. Known for celebrating over half a million birthdays annually, Chuck E. Cheese is dedicated to creating lasting memories through its unique blend of fun, food, and play. It operates with a strong commitment to safety, utilizing innovative programs like Kid Check and supporting community initiatives, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits. The company has earned multiple accolades, including the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, underscoring its dedication to innovation and employee well-being.

CEC Entertainment is also noted for fostering diversity and inclusion within its workforce, ensuring that employees feel valued and brought together through shared experiences of fun and play. Peter Piper Pizza complements this mission by providing a neighborhood pizzeria atmosphere that emphasizes quality food, engaging entertainment, and creating lifelong memories where "The Fun is Baked In." Both brands support physical wellness and skill development in kids through various play-focused attractions. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues, the company is a significant player in the family entertainment industry, committed to providing exceptional service and career growth opportunities.

The role available at CEC Entertainment is designed for individuals eager to be part of a vibrant, fun, and family-oriented environment. Specifically, the company is currently hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers who will play a key part in "feeding the fun" by preparing orders and assisting with food preparation tasks. This role is especially suited for those seeking their first job or looking to build a lasting career within a supportive and energetic workplace. It involves working in a no-fry kitchen setting, focusing on preparing pizza, salads, and wings, which promotes a healthier food environment.

Apart from competitive pay, employees enjoy a unique "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program that ensures they don't have to wait for their earnings. The compensation structure varies slightly between exempt and non-exempt employees, with commission potentials for each membership and Fun Pass sold, paid out bi-weekly unless otherwise required by law. The position also offers flexible schedules, employee discounts, scholarship opportunities, referral programs, and the CEC Cares Fund to assist employees during catastrophes.

Working at Chuck E. Cheese also means engaging in a role that requires energetic participation and excellent customer service. The physical demands include lifting up to 50 pounds and maintaining active postures such as standing, bending, and walking throughout the shift. The job environment includes exposure to flashing lights, moving parts, and loud noises, requiring individuals to handle stress effectively and interact positively with both guests and coworkers. The company maintains stringent health and sanitation standards, ensuring a safe and clean workplace.

CEC Entertainment is committed to equal employment opportunities and welcomes applicants from all diverse backgrounds, promoting an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive. This opportunity offers more than just a job – it presents a chance to grow within a company that values each employee's contribution to the family dining and entertainment experience.
