Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a premier leader in the family dining and entertainment industry, well-known for operating the iconic Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade brands. This company is committed to creating joyful and lasting memories for children and their families through a blend of food, fun, and play. Chuck E. Cheese alone celebrates over half a million birthdays annually, exemplifying its role as a place where kids can be kids with robust safety programs like Kid Check and extensive community support, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits. Recognized in 2025 as "Best in STEM" and named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, CEC Entertainment demonstrates leadership in innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza complements this family-friendly atmosphere by offering a neighborhood pizzeria experience focused on quality food, engaging entertainment, and creating lifelong memories, operating with the philosophy that "The Fun is Baked In." Together, these brands operate nearly 720 locations across 45 states and 18 countries, fostering an inclusive culture that celebrates diversity and promotes fun and play to unite families. CEC Entertainment is dedicated to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for both guests and workers, supported by rigorous health and sanitation standards that comply with local laws and protect all parties involved.

The role of Kitchen Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers at Chuck E. Cheese is an integral part of this mission, responsible for helping feed the fun by preparing orders and supporting food prep in a no-fry kitchen environment. This position is ideal for first-time job seekers or those looking to build a rewarding career with a company that promotes growth from within — over 60% of its managers were promoted internally. The kitchen roles emphasize easy preparation for menu favorites such as pizza, salads, and wings, all within a safe and dynamic work setting. Employees can benefit from the "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, allowing access to earned wages without delay, improving financial flexibility.

This hourly role pays between $16.90 and $17.90, with an additional commission structure based on sales of memberships and Fun Passes, supporting employees financially while motivating superior customer service. Essential job functions require employees to be physically capable of lifting up to 50 pounds and enduring a physically active shift involving standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting. The environment includes exposure to flashing and flickering lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises, demanding resilience and effective interpersonal skills in both guest and team interactions. The position requires availability for various shifts and a lively, enthusiastic personality to contribute positively to the Chuck E. Cheese experience.

CEC Entertainment is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourages applicants of all backgrounds to apply. The company complies with federal, state, and local laws by providing reasonable accommodations and adhering to fair employment practices for all qualified candidates. Employees enjoy a competitive benefits package, including access to telemedicine, early wage access, 401(k) plans, employee meal discounts, assistance programs, tuition savings, and scholarship opportunities.
