Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC is a nationally recognized leader in the family dining and entertainment industry, headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company proudly operates iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. Known for its commitment to creating joyful, lasting memories through a unique combination of fun, food, and play, CEC Entertainment celebrates over half a million birthdays annually. The brand emphasizes safety and community support, evidenced by initiatives like Kid Check® and more than $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits. In 2025, Chuck E. Cheese received the "Best in STEM" award and was named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces — a testament to its leadership in both innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza complements the family-friendly atmosphere by offering a neighborhood pizzeria experience with quality food, engaging entertainment, and the philosophy that "The Fun is Baked In." Both brands support physical wellness and the development of motor skills in children through their various attractions and amenities. Operating nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, the company fosters a diverse, inclusive, and dynamic culture built around fun and community.

CEC Entertainment is currently looking for Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Maker team members to join their kitchen staff. This role is perfect for first-time job seekers or those seeking career growth in a fast-paced, family-centered environment. The positions primarily involve preparing orders, assisting with food preparation, and supporting a no-fry kitchen specialized in pizzas, salads, and wings. Prospective employees must embody energetic and enthusiastic personalities, possess excellent customer service skills, and be available to work various shifts. The company encourages internal promotions, with over 60% of managers having been promoted from within, making this an excellent place for career advancement.

A standout feature of working at Chuck E. Cheese is the innovative "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, allowing employees early access to earned wages, which helps reduce financial stress between paychecks. The work environment involves some physical demands such as lifting up to 50 pounds and being able to stand, bend, kneel, and perform other movements during shifts. Employees must also be able to manage job stress effectively and interact positively with guests and colleagues.

CEC Entertainment offers a comprehensive benefits package tailored to employees working across the nation. All employees have access to telemedicine, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, employee meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), tuition savings, scholarships, and financial relief resources. Part-time employees may enroll in fixed indemnity medical coverage, dental and vision options, and choose voluntary life and short-term disability benefits. Full-time employees (averaging 29.5+ hours per week) are eligible for more extensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, 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 maintains rigorous health and sanitation protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of its guests and employees.
