Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment. The company proudly operates the iconic Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade brands. Chuck E. Cheese is famous for celebrating over half a million birthdays every year, creating joyful and lasting memories through fun, food, and play. As the place "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid," the brand is deeply committed to safety and community support. This dedication is reflected in initiatives like the Kid Check program and over $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits. In 2025, Chuck E. Cheese earned the "Best in STEM" award and was named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, illustrating its leadership in both innovation and employee well-being.

Peter Piper Pizza offers a neighborhood pizzeria experience that combines quality food, engaging entertainment, and lifelong memories. The tagline "The Fun is Baked In" emphasizes the blend of amusement and community connection that draws families and friends together. Both Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza emphasize play through attractions designed to support physical wellness and motor skill development in children.

CEC Entertainment and its franchisees operate nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries. The company is proud of its inclusive culture that celebrates diversity, fun, and play to unite families everywhere.

The role currently open is for Party Hosts at Chuck E. Cheese. Party Hosts are crucial to delivering an unforgettable experience for guests by preparing party areas, setting up tables, taking orders, attending to guests, and ensuring that the birthday child has a fantastic time. This position offers flexible schedules, competitive pay with commission potential, and unique programs like "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow," which allows employees to receive pay without waiting for a traditional paycheck cycle.

Beyond the fun environment, this role requires energetic, enthusiastic individuals who thrive in dynamic settings and possess excellent customer service skills. Party Hosts are empowered to engage with guests directly, making every event special and memorable. The position involves some physical activity such as lifting up to 50 pounds and standing or moving for extended periods.

CEC Entertainment provides a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, as well as a 401(k) retirement plan to eligible employees. Additional perks include scholarships, perquisites and discounts, an employee referral program, and a CEC Cares Fund to support employees during personal emergencies. The company prioritizes health and safety with rigorous hygiene standards and accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

CEC Entertainment champions equal opportunity employment and values a workforce reflecting the diversity of the communities it serves. They actively promote an inclusive environment free from discrimination based on race, gender, age, or any federally or locally protected status.
