CEC Entertainment is currently hiring Party Hosts, a role that is perfect for first-time job seekers or individuals looking to build exciting careers in the entertainment and hospitality industry. Party Hosts play a vital role in ensuring that every event at Chuck E. Cheese is fun, engaging, and memorable. They are responsible for preparing party areas, setting up tables, taking orders, attending to guests, and making sure the birthday child has an unforgettable time. The position offers competitive pay and commission opportunities, with exempt employees able to earn between $0.50 and $10.00 per membership sold and between $0.15 and $3.00 per Fun Pass sold, while non-exempt employees can earn between $2.00 and $8.00 per membership and $0.60 to $2.40 per Fun Pass sold.

Cheese also offers a "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program that allows employees to receive their earnings quickly without waiting for traditional pay cycles.
