This seems like a huge mistake.

The robots are the whole reason you go to Chuck E. Cheese over say Dave & Busters or Bowlero.

It's the entire differentiator.

to be honest I don't know why showbiz bought Chuck e cheese and didn't keep showbiz Rockabilly explosion was way more appealing IMHO

Wow that brought back some memories! I knew I had gone to a pizza place with an animatronic band, and it definitely wasn’t Chuck E Cheese. I’ve never been able to figure out what it was.

Yup, it was Showbiz and the Rock-afire Explosion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock-afire_Explosion

Thank you!
