In addition to core duties which include assembling menu items accurately and quickly, keeping the work environment clean and organized, and preparing for the next shift’s success, this role encourages teamwork and personal growth. The job requires you to be physically active, capable of lifting and standing for extended periods, and able to communicate effectively in a lively, dynamic setting. Panera Bread is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion, welcoming individuals of varied backgrounds and experiences.
