Experiences at Panera Bread

I have done numerous jobs at Panera, as one is hired and cross-trained in many areas; including dining room, barista, register and food preparation. Each job has helped me in many areas, from accuracy to customer service.

For all intesive purposes, stamina is one of the secrets to getting hired. If you have ever filled out a unicru application, you know that this takes around an hour to complete, asking questions that mislead you to answering the wrong way. Otherwise, if you can answer the rest of the questions in the interview, they are usually happy to hire you....

you have to be self-motivated, a team player, willing to learn new concepts and ideas as well as new ways of doing things. Must be willing to welcome change. Mature individuals who are self disciplined, not tardy. An amicable attitude is an A++. Need to understand that customers are our top priority....

cashier, credit cards transactions, cleaning area, preparation of food and bakery. server and busting tables.

At this company my main job was to work as a cashier. This included taking orders, making hot and cold cafe drinks, as well as serving items from the bakery. At Panera I also did a lot of filling in for other people which led to me being crosstrained as a Crispani(thin crust pizza) maker. This detail included topping, baking, and serving the Crispanies. During my last six months at Panera the management also saw it fit for me to train new employees, during the six months I trained five new employees as both cashiers and Crispani makers....

I did what most do at a restaurant while managing others and training them to do the job more effienciently.

I was a cashier, dining room closer, and bakery closer.

There is no secret really, all one must do is apply. That being said; however, one must demonstrate great customer service skills as the Panera Bread Company strives itself on customer satisfaction. In order to move up the ranks at Panera, a strong work ethic is required as the company sets very high standards for itself and demands the same from it's employees....

I lead the food making team during the busy hours, ensure that customers are completely satisfied, maintain strong relationships with customers to solidify return visits
