Our Teams
85% of our Managers and 25% of our Support Centre teams started on the shop floor.
Front of House Leader Role
Leaders, inspirers, and drivers of their teams, our Front of House Leaders are our in-shop champions, coaching and mentoring their teams. These wonderful people are the protectors of the things that make Pret, Pret - keeping standards and spirits high, and our teams and customers happy. When the shop gets busy, so do they; it's what makes them, them - whether it's rolling their sleeves up on the coffee machine (with training, of course) or immersed in the figures and spreadsheets. A people person without a doubt, with a passion for helping their shop, and the people in it grow.

The Pret interview journey
Please don't overly rely on the use of AI, we want to get to know you, not a robot. Then, if we move forward with your application, we'll start the process with an initial phone screening. The next stage is a 60-minute shop-based interview with the General Manager and the team. Everyone is welcome at Pret. We encourage applications from underrepresented groups, including women, people with disabilities, neurodiversity, ethnic minorities, and the LGBTQ+ community. Please let our recruitment team know if you need any adjustments or support during the recruitment process - your experience matters to us.
