Cheese alone celebrates over half a million birthdays, highlighting its strong community presence and dedication to providing safe, engaging environments for children and families. The company is committed to safety through initiatives like the Kid Check program and actively supports communities, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits. Recognized for its innovation and employee well-being, Chuck E. Cheese was honored with the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and named one of America's Greatest Workplaces.

CEC Entertainment and its franchise locations operate nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese venues and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza locations across 45 states and 18 countries. The brand emphasizes inclusivity and diversity, striving to foster a culture that celebrates different backgrounds and promotes a welcoming atmosphere for employees and guests alike. The Peter Piper Pizza brand offers a neighborhood pizzeria experience focused on quality food and entertainment, emphasizing fun that is integrated throughout each visit rather than merely an add-on.

The current opportunity is for positions such as Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers at Chuck E. Cheese, roles essential in supporting the company’s promise of great food and family fun. These roles contribute directly to the guest experience by preparing orders efficiently and maintaining the quality standards of the kitchen.

Compensation for these positions includes commission opportunities for those in both exempt and non-exempt categories, with commissions for selling memberships and Fun Passes, paid bi-weekly.

Working at Chuck E. Cheese is also about joining a family-oriented culture that values enthusiastic, customer-focused team members. The company places a strong emphasis on physical activity, customer interaction, and teamwork. The work environment includes some physical demands such as lifting up to 50 pounds, standing, bending, and working amid flashing lights and loud noises, reflecting an active and fast-paced setting.

CEC Entertainment offers a comprehensive benefits package to support its employees nationwide. All employees have access to telemedicine services, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement savings plan, meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program, tuition savings and scholarships, and financial relief resources. Part-time employees may opt into fixed indemnity medical coverage, dental and vision insurance, and voluntary life and short-term disability benefits. Full-time employees working an average of 29.5 hours or more per week are eligible for a full suite of medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid sick and vacation time, paid holidays where applicable, FSA/HSA options, life and disability insurance, voluntary benefits, legal coverage, and additional education and student loan support.

The company adheres to state and local compliance requirements, providing paid sick leave and other benefits mandated by law. Safety, health, and sanitation are priorities at Chuck E. Cheese, and the company maintains rigorous standards that meet or exceed local regulations to protect both employees and guests.
