Vacancy
As a Manager at Le Pain Quotidien, you are responsible for the success of your restaurant. You are the face of the location and ensure that guests are satisfied and have a good time at LPQ. You achieve this by leading a strong team.
You make the schedule, manage the staff, make sure the shop looks neat and see that the orders are carried out correctly. Using delivery tests, you check the orders and ensure that there is not too much or too little stock of products. You can check this by means of delivery lists. You also make the rosters. Employees indicate their availability via a roster app, after which you fill in the gaps by scheduling employees manually. You give employees training on the job and keep a close eye on everything. You are also the point of contact for complaints, which you adequately resolve.
Together with the Assistant Manager you lead a team that consists of Kitchen staff, Hosts and occasionally temporary staff.
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
Mark te Winkel
On an enjoyable working day, you are in the restaurant with a strong team and the atmosphere between you is very good. You also get regular compliments from guests about the delicious food, and you have a high revenue.
On a less enjoyable day, an employee is sick so you have to work extra hard all day. Also, something went wrong with the order, causing an ingredient to be out of stock.

Working at Le Pain Quotidien NL
Le Pain Quotidien (French for 'daily bread') is a bakery-restaurant chain founded in 1990 by Alain Coumont. Alain was dissatisfied with the quality of bread in Brussels, so he started making his own sourdough bread using only four ingredients: water, flour, salt and time. Now Le Pain Quotidien has more than two hundred restaurants in fifteen countries, spread over three continents.
