Job Description
CEC Entertainment, LLC is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment, proudly operating some of the most iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, the company has established itself as a cornerstone in providing fun, food, and play experiences that bring families and communities together across the United States and internationally. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment boasts a robust presence in the family restaurant and entertainment industry. \n\nAs a company, CEC Entertainment puts a strong emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and culture, fostering a work environment that reflects the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of its employees and customers. The company is committed to creating safe, welcoming places where kids and families can enjoy memorable experiences. Investments in safety measures like the Kid Check program and substantial community support initiatives, including over $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits, underline its dedication to social responsibility and safety. Additionally, Chuck E. Cheese has been recognized with the "Best in STEM" award and named one of America's Greatest Workplaces, showcasing its leadership not only in innovation but also in employee well-being.\n\nThe role of Party Host at CEC Entertainment is an exciting opportunity to become a vital part of creating fun-filled events and unforgettable celebrations. Party Hosts play a central role in energizing events by preparing party areas, setting up tables, managing orders, attending to guests, and ensuring that each birthday celebration is special and enjoyable for everyone involved, especially the birthday child. This position is ideal for first-time job seekers or individuals looking to build a dynamic career within a company that values internal promotion, with more than 60 percent of their managers having been promoted from within the organization. \n\nEmployment at CEC Entertainment comes with enticing commission opportunities. Exempt employees can earn commissions ranging from $0.50 to $10.00 for each membership sold and from $0.15 to $3.00 for each Fun Pass sold, with payments issued bi-weekly unless state law dictates otherwise. Non-exempt employees have commission potential starting from $2.00 up to $8.00 for memberships and from $0.60 to $2.40 for Fun Passes. The company's "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program is a distinctive benefit that allows employees to receive pay without having to wait for the traditional bi-weekly paycheck, providing flexible and timely financial support. \n\nParty Hosts are expected to have an energetic and enthusiastic personality and excellent customer service skills, as they contribute directly to the guest experience by handling various responsibilities that require physical activity such as lifting up to 50 pounds, standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting during shifts. Employees must be able to work various shifts and thrive in environments with loud noises, flickering lights, and moving parts. The company is also committed to accommodating individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions effectively. \n\nWorking at CEC Entertainment also means enjoying a comprehensive benefits package that includes competitive pay, a 50 percent meal discount during shifts, flexible schedules, scholarship opportunities, participation in perks and discounts programs, an employee referral program, and access to the CEC Cares Fund designed to assist employees during catastrophic events. Medical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan are also offered to eligible U.S. employees.
