Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC (CEC), headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment. The company proudly operates beloved brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade, which together create a welcoming and fun environment for families and children. Chuck E. Cheese alone celebrates over half a million birthdays annually and is renowned for offering a place Where a Kid Can Be a Kid® — a safe, entertaining space that combines food, play, and memorable experiences. Known for its commitment to safety, CEC implements rigorous health and sanitation standards and innovative safety programs like Kid Check®. CEC is also dedicated to community support, having donated over $24 million to schools and nonprofits. The company has earned accolades such as the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, underscoring its leadership in innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza complements the portfolio by delivering a neighborhood pizzeria experience filled with engaging entertainment and quality food, emphasizing that "The Fun is Baked In." Both Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza champion play through attractions aimed at promoting physical wellness and motor skill development in children. Operating nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment fosters a diverse, inclusive culture that values team collaboration and family-centric fun.

CEC Entertainment is currently hiring for Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker positions. These roles are essential to supporting the culinary side of the business by preparing menu items such as pizza, salads, and wings in a no-fry kitchen environment that prioritizes quality and efficiency. Employees in these roles enjoy empowerment through cross-training in different positions, helping them to deliver the greatest customer service possible. CEC offers career advancement opportunities with over 60% of managers promoted from within, making this an excellent choice for first-time job seekers or those building a long-term career.

The company’s compensation structure allows for commission earnings on Membership and Fun Pass sales, with detailed potential commission figures differing for exempt and non-exempt employees. Additionally, CEC Entertainment provides a unique "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, enabling employees to access earned wages without waiting for the traditional payday, enhancing financial flexibility.

Working at CEC means you join a family-oriented company that prioritizes both guest and employee experience. The kitchen roles demand physical activity including lifting up to 50 pounds, standing, bending, kneeling, and other movements during shifts. The work environment includes exposure to flashing lights, loud noises, and moving mechanical parts, making it important for candidates to be energetic and enthusiastic. Overall, the role is designed to be accessible and supportive with reasonable accommodations provided for individuals with disabilities.

CEC Entertainment offers a comprehensive benefits package that supports all employees nationwide. Benefits include telemedicine services, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, employee meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program, tuition savings, scholarships, and financial relief resources. Part-time employees may opt into fixed indemnity medical, dental, vision, and other voluntary benefits. Full-time employees averaging more than 29.5 hours per week receive additional coverage such as comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, paid holidays, paid sick and vacation time, flexible spending account/health savings account options, life and disability insurance, and more. The company is committed to compliance with state and local laws regarding paid sick leave and safety requirements.
