Hot chef Review

As a Hot Chef in Pret A manger I’m an expert on all hot food related tasks. My role comes with some very important safety-related responsibilities for me and my colleagues but most importantly, for our customers. Is my duty to care and manage the hot food correctly and maintain the best standards to be able to serve food with quality and freshness that Pret is known for.

Six months working in Pret A manger equals a full hand of new skills. I have learn to be more confident around people and more out going. Dealing with costumer on a daily basis gives you a different perspective of interaction in the workplace, I had drastically improved my communication skills and my organisational management skills.

So far, it has been the best experience of my life, being part of such a incredible team has provided me with valuable knowledge. Pret is more than just a coffee shop, is a community of good people where I have learned to be more myself while becoming more professional.

Pret’s apprenticeship program is designed in such a way that allows us to connect the theoretical with the practical giving us enough time and resources to successfully apply all the teachings in us workplace. All group meetings have an theme that is approached using different techniques thats makes it easy and fun to learn.

Each apprentice is assigned with a personal trainer which is available to us 24/7 to answer any questions that we may have. We also get all the direct contacts needed within the Apprenticeship developing team in the main office in case we have any issues or doubts about the program itself.

Each apprentice is assigned with a personal trainer and there are regular meetings designed to work towards the fundamental topics of the internship. Our personal trainer makes sure that each topic is understood and all group meetings have an theme that is approached using different techniques thats makes it easy and fun to learn.

My personal trainer and development team directly supports me with my progress at work and made sure that my interests are protected during the program. I personally feel that they have always listen to what I have to say, the have effectively solve any issues and made sure that our training is best it can be so we can be able to translate it into our current workplace and future positions.

We are a big group and we don't get to see our colleagues very often as we all work in different UK areas. The development team makes sure that once in a while we all meet so they organise social activities were we can be together and have fun.
