CEC Entertainment proudly celebrates over half a million birthdays annually, positioning itself as the place Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®. The brand shows a strong commitment to safety with initiatives like Kid Check® and supports the community through donations exceeding $24 million to schools and nonprofits. In 2025, Chuck E.

The company is currently hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker roles focused on preparing orders and assisting with food prep in a no-fry kitchen environment.
