Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment, headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company proudly operates iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. CEC Entertainment is dedicated to creating joyful and lasting memories through fun, food, and play, celebrating over half a million birthdays annually. With a strong commitment to safety, community support, and innovative programs like Kid Check, the company has donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits. In 2025, Chuck E. Cheese was honored with the "Best in STEM" award and named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, showcasing its leadership in both innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza, another key brand under CEC Entertainment, offers a neighborhood pizzeria experience that blends quality food with engaging entertainment, emphasizing that "The Fun is Baked In." Both Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza champion play through various attractions that promote physical wellness and strengthen motor skills in children. Together, these brands 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 and celebrating fun and play as a way to unite families.

The Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker roles at Chuck E. Cheese are pivotal in delivering this mission by ensuring that quality food is prepared efficiently and safely in a no-fry kitchen environment. Employees in these positions assist with preparing a variety of items including pizza, salads, and wings, all while contributing to an atmosphere that encourages family fun and positive customer experiences.

CEC Entertainment’s work environment is fast-paced and requires employees to be energetic, enthusiastic, and customer-service oriented. Employees must be able to lift and carry objects weighing up to 50 pounds and perform physical activities like standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing/pulling, walking, and squatting during their shift. The workplace does include flashing lights, mechanical parts, and loud noises, emphasizing the need for resilience and effective interpersonal skills to manage job stress and interact positively with guests and coworkers. The company takes great care in maintaining rigorous health and sanitation standards to protect the health of employees and guests alike.

This role is ideal for first-time job seekers as well as those looking to build exciting careers, with over 60% of management promoted from within. CEC Entertainment offers scholarship opportunities, flexible schedules, meal discounts during shifts, referral programs, and the CEC Cares Fund to support employees during times of catastrophe.
