Where does Chuck E. Cheese grow from here?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Scott Drake, the CEO of CEC Entertainment, parent company to Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza.

This is the first of a couple of episodes recorded at the recent Restaurant Leadership Conference and it is a phenomenal conversation.

Scott was recently promoted to CEO after a couple of years as CEC’s CFO. And he has a lot to talk about.

We talk about the company’s new headquarters. We talk about many of the changes it has made over the years, particularly on the technology front. 

We discuss how the company plans to grow in the coming years and some of the interesting concepts it is growing with. But we also talk about some of the long-term concerns the company has, notably the slowing population.

We’re talking Chuck E. Cheese on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
