They have donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofits and have been recognized with awards such as the 2025 "Best in STEM" and one of America’s Greatest Workplaces.

The role of Party Host at Chuck E. Cheese is designed to bring high energy and excitement to birthday celebrations and family events. Party Hosts are responsible for setting up party areas, managing orders, attending to guests, and ensuring that every event runs smoothly with special attention to the birthday child’s enjoyment.

The position requires physical capability to lift or carry objects weighing up to 50 pounds and to perform tasks involving standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and squatting. The work environment is vibrant but sometimes loud, with flashing lights and moving mechanical parts. Adaptability to handle job stress and effective interaction with guests and coworkers are essential. CEC Entertainment fosters diversity and inclusion, providing reasonable accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.

The company offers a comprehensive benefits package tailored to support employees nationwide. All employees benefit from telemedicine access, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, employee meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), tuition savings and scholarships, and financial relief resources. Part-time employees may opt into fixed indemnity medical coverage, dental and vision plans, as well as voluntary life and short-term disability benefits. Full-time employees, defined as averaging 29.5 or more hours per week, are eligible for extensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid sick and vacation time, paid holidays (where applicable), FSA/HSA options, life and disability insurance, legal coverage, and additional educational and student loan support. CEC Entertainment adheres to state and local compliance, including paid sick leave where required.
