Cheese is a vibrant and welcoming place where kids and families come together to celebrate over half a million birthdays annually, creating joyful and lasting memories through an immersive combination of delicious food, engaging entertainment, and lively play. The brand's commitment extends beyond fun—they prioritize safety with innovative programs like Kid Check, alongside a strong dedication to community support having donated over $24 million to schools and nonprofits. Recognized for its leadership and positive workplace environment, Chuck E. Cheese was honored in 2025 with the "Best in STEM" award and named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, underscoring its excellence in innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza complements this family entertainment tradition by offering a neighborhood pizzeria experience that emphasizes quality food and engaging amusement, with the philosophy that "The Fun is Baked In." Together, these brands foster physical wellness and motor skill development in children through various attractions, enhancing family and community connections.

Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, making it a major player in the entertainment dining industry that celebrates diversity, fun, and inclusivity in all they do.

Within this vibrant environment, the role of a Party Host at Chuck E. Cheese is essential for delivering unforgettable experiences. Party Hosts are the life of the celebrations, ensuring every event is perfectly executed and filled with fun. This role includes preparing party areas by setting up tables with attention to detail, taking orders efficiently and accurately, attending to guests with high-quality service, and most importantly, making sure the birthday child and all attendees have a blast throughout the event. This entry-level position offers a fantastic opportunity for first-time job seekers or anyone passionate about creating magical moments for families.

The position offers competitive hourly pay ranging from $17.90 to $18.90, supplemented by commission based on Membership and Fun Pass sales, enhancing earning potential.

Additional perks include a 50% discount on meals during shifts, scholarship opportunities, employee referral incentives, and the CEC Cares Fund designed to support employees during emergencies.

Working as a Party Host means joining a team that is energetic and enthusiastic, with a focus on exceptional customer service and fun. The role demands physical stamina including the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand, bend, walk, and interact dynamically within a lively, sometimes noisy environment featuring flashing lights and moving mechanical parts. Contributing to the safety and comfort of guests and colleagues is paramount, ensuring a positive atmosphere for families to enjoy.

CEC Entertainment embraces diversity and inclusion, fostering a workplace where every employee’s background and perspective are valued and respected.
