• You like the hustle and bustle of the hospitality industry.

• You’re at least 16 years of age.
• You are passionate about our Guiding Values and Behaviors:
• Warmth for guests: Making people smile
• Bold thoughts, brave actions: Learning, growing, and taking risks
• Own it: Finding solutions and taking initiative
• Win together: Working (and winning) as a team
• Inspire and celebrate: Having fun and celebrating success
• Rooted in respect: Seeing the best in others

Growth Opportunities at Panera:

• A Path to Success: Most of our retail managers started as hourly associates. Our career path program helps 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 move or grow with us.

Around here, every day starts with a fresh batch of bread and a thousand possibilities.

Get ready to rise.
