Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC (CEC), headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment. The company proudly operates several beloved brands, including the iconic Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues spanning 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment has become synonymous with fun, food, and family-friendly experiences. The company is deeply committed to creating joyful and lasting memories for families by offering a unique blend of quality dining options and engaging entertainment that caters to children and adults alike.

Chuck E. Cheese is known for celebrating over half a million birthdays annually, serving as a premier destination where kids can be kids. The brand focuses on safety through innovative programs like Kid Check®, which ensures a secure environment for children and families. CEC Entertainment also takes pride in its community support, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofit organizations to help foster learning and development across the country. In its industry, the company stands out for its innovations and employee-centric workplace culture, as evidenced by receiving the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and being recognized as one of America's Greatest Workplaces.

Peter Piper Pizza complements this experience by providing a neighborhood pizzeria atmosphere where fun is an integral part of the dining experience, not just an add-on. Through a combination of engaging entertainment options and quality food, Peter Piper Pizza helps bring families and communities together, promoting physical wellness and motor skills development for children through play-based attractions.

CEC Entertainment is proud to foster a culture rooted in diversity, inclusion, and unity.

The "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program exemplifies CEC's innovative approach to supporting its workforce by allowing employees to receive earnings daily rather than waiting for traditional pay cycles.
