As a Host at Le Pain Quotidien, it's your responsibility to make sure guests have everything they need. When you are serving, you bring guests the menu, answer any questions about dishes and serve drinks and food. You are responsible for a number of tables in the restaurant, which you keep a close eye on.

You also regularly work behind the counter. Here you sell retail products such as pastries, bread and croissants. There you also help people who come by to have a take-away coffee. Most dishes are prepared in the kitchen, but behind the counter you take care of the decoration of the pastries.

During the day, you make sure the restaurant and your workplace behind the counter stays clean. At the end of the day you and your colleagues from the closing shift clean the entire restaurant. You sweep and mop the restaurant, clean the toilets and change the garbage cans. This way you make sure that your colleagues from the morning shift can start their work well.

You are part of the Front of House team, which consists of an (Assistant) Manager, Shift leader and several Hosts. It depends on how busy things are as to how many colleagues you work with.
