The hum of conversation fills the air, jam is passed around the table, and, ever so gracefully, time slows.

• Follow all opening, mid, and closing procedures as directed by checklists and the Kitchen Manager
• Follow and complete Le Pain Quotidien cleaning and food safety checklists to ensure proper food handling

Qualifications

• 1-3 months of related restaurant experience or training
• Previous knife‑handling experience a plus
• Flexibility in schedule is highly preferred but not required
