PANERA CAFE TEAM LEAD
Want to work in place where you can learn, laugh, be supported, be yourself and reach your 
goals? If so, then Panera is for you. We do everything possible to earn your trust and help you 
succeed—every day, in every way. Come join the fun.

Are you friendly, motivated, and hard-working? Up for a challenge? Ready to grow? If so, you’ll 
thrive on our team.
Our Team Leads keep us going strong. 
As a Team Lead at Panera, you are key to the success of your bakery-cafe. You own a segment of 
your shift and ensure efficiency, accuracy, and quality—while making sure every customer has an 
outstanding experience. You partner with your bakery-cafe managers to “divide and conquer” the 
work that needs to be done each day. 
As a Team Lead at Panera, you are asked to: 
• Lead a specified production area and/or service zone in the bakery-cafe.
• Ensure your area remains clean and safe at all times.
• Ensure 100% accuracy, speed, quality, and presentation of all orders.
• Immediately respond to and solve any guest issues.
• Be a supportive leader and team player, creating a warm, welcoming work culture for
your team.
• Train associates for all duties and certifiable positions within your area.
• Ensure extraordinary guest experiences.
• Help build our culture of Warmth, Belonging, Growth, and Trust.
• Step in and support your manager and team
