Job Description
CEC Entertainment, LLC ("CEC") is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment, headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company proudly operates iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment is dedicated to creating joyful, lasting memories for kids and families through a unique combination of food, fun, and play. The brand is widely celebrated for hosting over half a million birthdays annually, emphasizing its commitment to providing a safe, entertaining environment for children and their families.
Chuck E. Cheese serves as the premier destination where kids can genuinely be kids, a place that champions physical wellness, motor skill development, and family connection through its diverse entertainment offerings. The company’s dedication to safety is evident in initiatives like Kid Check®, which helps ensure a secure experience for all guests. Moreover, CEC Entertainment actively contributes to communities by donating over $24 million to schools and nonprofits as part of its social responsibility efforts. The brand's consistent innovation has earned it prestigious recognitions, including the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and being named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for fostering employee well-being and industry leadership.
Peter Piper Pizza complements this family-friendly environment by providing a neighborhood pizzeria experience that integrates quality food, engaging entertainment, and community-building activities under the motto "The Fun is Baked In!" Both brands are deeply invested in enhancing the joy of family dining and play, embodying diverse cultures, and celebrating inclusion.
The opportunity at CEC Entertainment is for kitchen roles, specifically Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers. This role is vital in helping feed the fun, focusing on preparing quality food orders to contribute to an unforgettable guest experience. Notably, the kitchen operates as a no-fry environment, focusing on easy preparation for items like pizza, salads, and wings. New hires can benefit from the highly attractive "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program that provides early wage access, reducing the time employees wait between paychecks.
The position suits both first-time job seekers and individuals looking to build a thriving career within a company that promotes internal growth. Over 60 percent of the management staff has been promoted from within, reflecting the company’s commitment to career development and employee advancement. Employees in this role have the chance to be cross-trained across multiple positions, gaining valuable skills and versatility while contributing to the company’s mission of delivering the best service in family dining and entertainment.
CEC Entertainment offers a comprehensive benefits package tailored for both part-time and full-time employees nationwide, including telemedicine access, meal discounts, a retirement plan, tuition support, and financial assistance resources. The company complies with state and local laws regarding paid sick leave and other benefits, ensuring employees receive fair and equitable treatment. The work environment encourages safety and health with rigorous sanitation standards and operational procedures designed to protect employees and guests alike.
Working as a Food Prep, Cook, or Pizza Maker at Chuck E. Cheese means joining a diverse, inclusive culture where fun, creativity, and hard work unite. Employees can enjoy a lively work atmosphere featuring flashing lights, moving parts, and dynamic engagement with guests and co-workers. This role requires physical activity such as lifting, bending, walking, and standing throughout shifts, as well as excellent customer service skills and an enthusiastic personality. This position is not only a job but a pathway for personal growth and a stepping stone within the CEC Entertainment family.
