Recognized for industry leadership, the company received the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and was named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, highlighting its commitment to innovation and employee well-being.

CEC Entertainment is currently hiring for Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker positions. These roles are essential to supporting the brand's mission to provide exceptional food and entertainment experiences to families. Employees in these positions work in a no-fry kitchen environment, focusing on simple preparation tasks involving pizza, salads, and wings. This role is ideal for first-time job seekers or individuals looking to build a rewarding career within the company. The company empowers its Cast Members with cross-training opportunities across various positions, with over 60% of managers having been promoted from within, reflecting a strong commitment to career growth and internal development.

The Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker roles offer a competitive hourly wage ranging from $16.90 to $17.90 and include commission potential based on sales of memberships and Fun Passes, with commissions paid bi-weekly. Employees enjoy benefits such as early wage access through the "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, telemedicine, a 401(k) retirement plan, employee meal discounts, tuition savings, scholarships, and more. Part-time and full-time employees have access to a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, paid sick and vacation time, and financial relief resources.

The work environment demands physical stamina as employees may need to lift objects up to 50 pounds and perform activities such as standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting throughout their shifts. The role also requires the ability to handle job stress effectively and collaborate well with both guests and team members in a setting that includes flashing lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises. CEC Entertainment fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace culture and is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

This position is not only about food preparation; it is a chance to be part of a dynamic and supportive team that values fun, family, and creating memorable experiences.
