The role we are currently hiring for includes Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers positions at Chuck E. Cheese. This entry-level opportunity is ideal for first-time job seekers or individuals looking to build an exciting career with growth potential, as over 60% of our managers were promoted from within.

Compensation ranges from $15.92 to $16.92 hourly, with additional commission opportunities tied to membership and fun pass sales. This commission structure varies depending on employment status, with exempt and non-exempt rates detailed and paid bi-weekly.

This role requires energetic, enthusiastic individuals who maintain excellent customer service skills and can thrive in a dynamic, fun environment characterized by exciting sensory experiences such as flashing lights and moving mechanical parts. Staff must be physically able to lift up to 50 pounds and perform activities involving standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting during shifts. We prioritize safety and health, following rigorous sanitation standards to protect both employees and guests. CEC offers a competitive benefits package including telemedicine, early wage access, 401(k) retirement, meal discounts, employee assistance programs, and more. Additional benefits are available based on part-time or full-time status including medical, dental, vision, paid time off, and education support.
