I was offered a catering coordinator position and I’m trying to decide if I should leave my current hospital job for it. The base pay is a little lower, but I was told tips can make up the difference and sometimes be more. The hours could start really early, and I’m worried I might be making the wrong move.
Has anyone done this job? What’s it actually like?

From my memory photos
The cheese was 2 oz not 1.5 , croissants was rounded

Hi!

I litterally just got hired at panera bread, im keeping my other job.

They want a full time employee, closer.

Im excited as my current job only works me once a week and pays me $2.75 less. I mostly work closing at my job now as well.

Only thing im worried about as my 2 past jobs were retail and this is food. Any advice or anything I should be aware, my boss at my current job gave me this job rec as he used to work there and he loves the management and they seem super nice, just super nervous as this is my first new job in nearly 2 years.

hi im in this sub as a lover of panera, have a $30 giftcard for someone who wants it. tell me your favorite meal from panera!

priority to those who have a need for this or are having a rough week/day

I always order through the app, but today ordered at the in-store kiosk. To my surprise, I got a pop-up offer for a $2 pastry. I used to get those all the time when ordering on the app, but haven't had one in over a year. Does anyone know if those only happen now if you order on the kiosk?

I just got hired as a restaurant team member.

Is it possible for me to become a AGM in 2 years working at panera? I have a lot of local cafe experience and I also worked at starbucks for a year. I do not have supervisor or manager experience.

I was let go, I didn’t resign for my lease - I sign for my house in a week . I am devastated and I’m balling my eyes out . I did beg and pleaded to just be relocated or transferred. Yet they said they rather let me go even tho I’m a good employee.

I have no place to live in 2 weeks .
I have no job
I have to give up my dream of owning a home .

Rock and also they destroy the moon heheh and the strongest planet on earth hhwhehw

I’ve been an employee with Panera for 7 years and have worked every position possible besides GM and are currently a baker. I went on my day off with 2 of my friends and each of our items were wrong. I asked for tomatoes and arugula on my sandwich and the cashier didn’t even modify it. First friend ordered a pick two bowl of broccoli cheddar and bowl of French onion and received a pick two cup of broccoli and a French dipper. Second friend ordered a full chicken dipper and they only made a half. We were the third order on screen and didn’t get our order for 20 minutes. Salad person was on their phone while sandwich had about 8-10 orders on screen and he was moving at a sloths pace. Back when I was working on the line everybody actually had a sense of urgency to get orders out and to help where needed if you got caught up on your own line. With the cashier, he didn’t even repeat back the order and confirm anything. I think he might have spoken 5 words to the three of us. Not even a “welcome in” or “have a good day” either. This is so ridiculous it’s actually funny

Have the large hot cups got smaller? The workers since the new sip club of 1 a day keep giving me a small cup when I keep asking for a large. It seems like I am getting a cup that is a few ounces smaller then before they changed to one a day plan.

I’ve been at Panera for about 6 months now. I started doing the morning bake and the prep afterwards a few weeks ago. Anybody have any tips and tricks on how to build up my speed?

Just curious does anyone on the Marketing team at Corporate use AI? It’s not hard to gather sentiment through surveys built into the app. Give your opinion and get $2 off next order - population would be people who go to Panera at least twice a week. Another sample of those who haven’t been to a store in 30 days. Fairly simple to gather the intel. Instead of implementing stuff nobody cares about (ie Dubai chocolate) why not get real opinions? For example, why not extend the Breakfast menu to 12 noon? Why not offer mini pizzas? How about a special promo for the thousands of seniors who congregate every Sunday morning? Also translation into Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese - yes they are a significant chunk of your clientele in certain markets. Your data analytics team has this I go and so do your staff. Listen to them.

People will provide the information for free instead of hiring a market research consultant for $180,000 a year to tell them the same thing. Then customize the incentives and promotions, tweak the SIP Club and offer better menu items. And pay attention to Reddit, because some of the graphics are just gross. Observe what’s working and what isn’t and handle it. In other words, wake up Corporate.

This is my first time ordering a smoothie from Panera Bread. I was extremely confused; I placed a pickup order. They said it would be ready, and I arrived several minutes after the time they quoted. I am pretty sure they use ice, but is it supposed to be blended or whole? I wasn't expecting Smoothie King or Jamba Juice, but I was expecting it to be blended! Is this normal operation?

sliced bread, parmesan, slice of tomato, basil, that mysterious oil in the bottle from breakfast, and another little slice of parmesan. 9.5/10 would maybe taste a tiny bit better with some kind of meat on it

For all my Panera workers what time do you usually clock out of work? Especially if you break down sandwich and salad lines. My Panera closes at 9 and sometimes I clock out at 9:55 is this normal?​ I really hate breaking down sandwich/salads lines

that’s it. that’s the whole tweet

Psst…..What’s the scoop with the upcoming C10 next Wednesday?! If anyone knows anything, give us the details!!! (From a TL in TN)!!! Let’s Fall and Ball!!!!!!!!!

My manager said heart checks are coming up and the last one we had was earlier this year. I’ve been here for less than a year.

Got a box of 4 cinnamon rolls. How long will they be good for? Storage tips?

I went to my Panera at 1PM today which is rare for me as I’m usually there around 10 or 5. The place was packed. I ordered the Greek Salad with chicken and I was very satisfied with it, better than it’s been.

you wanted it, you got it

I think this is annoying. It should be at least one drink per day.
