Job Description

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a nationally recognized leader in family dining and entertainment, operating iconic brands such as Chuck E. Cheese, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck's Arcade. Committed to creating joyful, lasting memories, CEC entertains over half a million birthday celebrations annually, providing a safe and fun environment where children and families can enjoy food and play. The company has a strong focus on safety and community support, with programs like Kid Check and over $24 million donated to schools and nonprofits. Recognized for its innovation and workplace excellence, Chuck E. Cheese recently received the "Best in STEM" award and was named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces in 2025. Operating nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and more than 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC fosters a culture of diversity, inclusivity, and family-friendly fun.

The Party Host role at Chuck E. Cheese is designed to elevate the excitement of every event by ensuring a memorable experience for guests, especially children celebrating their birthdays. Party Hosts are responsible for preparing party areas by setting up tables, taking orders, attending to guests, and making sure that the birthday child has an unforgettable celebration. This position encourages energetic and enthusiastic individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, guest-centric environment. It offers an excellent opportunity for first-time job seekers or those looking to build a career within a dynamic, growth-oriented company where over 60 percent of managers have been promoted from within. Employees benefit from comprehensive training with cross-functional team roles and enjoy unique perks such as the "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, allowing access to earned wages immediately, rather than waiting for traditional pay cycles.

Working as a Party Host at CEC Entertainment requires flexibility to work various shifts and a strong commitment to excellent customer service. The work environment includes physical activities such as lifting or carrying objects weighing up to 50 pounds, standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, pushing or pulling, walking, and squatting during shifts. The job challenges employees to manage job stress effectively while interacting positively with guests and team members amidst flashing lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises typical of an amusement setting. CEC’s dedication to employee wellness and work-life balance is reflected in its competitive compensation, commission potential per membership and fun pass sales, and a wide array of benefits. This role comes with access to comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance for full-time employees, as well as voluntary benefits and financial support programs.

CEC Entertainment values diversity and inclusion in its workforce and ensures compliance with all applicable state and local laws related to paid sick leave and other employee benefits. The company’s commitment to accessibility includes providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Joining CEC means becoming part of a warm, family-friendly culture committed to innovation, safety, and the well-being of its employees and guests.
