Our Team Managers make every shift shine.
As a Team Manager at Panera, you are key to the success of your bakery-cafe. You handle a wide range of responsibilities, all to ensure that both customers and associates have a great experience. Our Team Managers ensure that every shift is a great one-by developing our people, managing team performance, and building the warm, inclusive, authentic Panera team culture. As part of your bakery-cafe's management team, you report directly to the General Manager or Operating Partner. Each Team Manager oversees a different part of the bakery-cafe, from food cost management to drive-thru, delivery, or catering operations.

• Inspire and celebrate: Having fun and celebrating success
• Rooted in respect: Seeing the best in others

• Ensure extraordinary guest experiences.
  • Make sure every customer is delighted by the quality of our food, service, staff, and safety measures.
  • Build engaging relationships that lead to long-term, loyal customers.
• Help your bakery-cafe grow and succeed.
  • Coach and motivate your team to exceed your bakery-cafe's goals-for sales, speed of service, order accuracy, and cafe health.
  • Train your team on food safety standards and ensure they are maintained.

• Lead, manage, and develop your associates.
  • Hire and onboard new associates and provide ongoing training and development, including constructive feedback, as needed.
  • Keep your team energized and engaged. Recognize and celebrate individual and team achievements.

This opportunity is for you if:

• You are warm, inclusive, trustworthy, and able to develop people.
• You like the hustle and bustle of the hospitality industry.
• You want to lead a fun, energized team that works hard and laughs often.
• You can work flexible hours, including nights and weekends.
• You're committed to, and experienced with, health and food safety.
• You want to have a positive impact on your customers and community.
• You meet these requirements:
  • Proven ability to direct, motivate, coach, and develop others in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated ability to run great shifts
  • 1+ year(s) of restaurant management experience preferred
  • ServSafe certification (or able to pass)
  • At least 18 years of age
  • Must submit to a background check

Growth opportunities at Panera:

• A Path to Success: Most of our retail managers started as hourly associates. If your goal is Assistant General Manager or General Manager, we'll help you get there.
• Skills and Training: Every day at Panera we help build your skills and prepare you for a strong career-whatever your goals may be.
• Nationwide Opportunities: We open about 100 new cafes each year-so you'll have plenty of chances to grow with us.
