Vacancy
As an Assistant Manager at Le Pain Quotidien you are responsible for the operational side of things on the work floor. You are the manager's right hand and ensure that guests feel at home in the restaurant. You do this by setting an example and coaching and inducting employees. You ensure that you and a strong team can deliver the high quality that guests can expect at Le Pain Quotidien.
You open or close the restaurant and take care of the (daily) planning so that everyone knows what is expected of him or her. During the day, you are the point of contact for guests and employees and you resolve complaints appropriately. At the end of the working day, you count the cash register and report the achieved results to your Manager and/or District Manager. You also check the orders and supply of products, so that there is exactly enough stock of each ingredient and product.
Together with the Manager, you will lead a team that consists of Kitchen staff, Hosts and occasional temporary workers.
If you enjoy making guests happy, get along well with different types of people, and find it challenging to work hard, then this is a job for you.
Working week
On a nice working day it is busy in the restaurant. You use this busyness to coach employees: how can you improve the service and your skills even further?
On a less enjoyable working day, it's very quiet, so time passes slowly. You can use this time to deal with some jobs that get left undone when you are busy, such as some administration.

Working at Le Pain Quotidien NL
Le Pain Quotidien (French for 'daily bread') is a bakery-restaurant chain founded in 1990 by Alain Coumont.

Now Le Pain Quotidien has more than two hundred restaurants in fifteen countries, spread over three continents.
