Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment. The company proudly operates iconic brands including Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade, serving families and communities across 45 states and 18 countries. Chuck E. Cheese is renowned for celebrating over half a million birthdays annually, fostering joyful and lasting memories through its commitment to fun, food, and play. The brand prides itself on being "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®" by offering safe, engaging environments ensured by programs like Kid Check® and supporting communities with donations exceeding $24 million to schools and nonprofits. CEC Entertainment's dedication to innovation and employee well-being was acknowledged in 2025 with the "Best in STEM" award and recognition as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces.

Both brands aim to promote physical wellness and motor skill development in kids through various attractions. With nearly 600 Chuck E.

CEC Entertainment is now hiring Party Hosts to join its dynamic team. This is an excellent opportunity for first-time job seekers or those looking to build an exciting career in family entertainment and hospitality. The role offers flexibility, competitive pay, and a unique commission structure—exempt positions have commission potentials ranging from $0.50 to $10.00 per Membership and $0.15 to $3.00 per Fun Pass sold, while non-exempt roles yield $2.00 to $8.00 per Membership and $0.60 to $2.40 per Fun Pass sold. Commission earnings are paid bi-weekly unless dictated otherwise by state law.

Party Hosts play a crucial role in creating unforgettable celebrations by managing party setups, taking orders, attending to guests, and ensuring the birthday child and their guests have an exceptional experience. This role demands energy, enthusiasm, and excellent customer service skills. It involves physical activity such as lifting weights up to 50 pounds and performing tasks that require standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting during shifts. The work environment includes exposure to flashing lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises.
