Gioia, Ellie and Emily
/in Employee Spotlights /by Ricky DarbeyLori, the General Manager from our Canfield, OH Panera Bread is so proud of her team members for exceling at work and outside of work! Three of her all-star associates, Gioia, Ellie, and Emily were all inducted into their high school’s National Honor Society together this past week. In celebration of this achievement, Lori is excited to bring attention to these amazing young women and their hard work!
Chloe Painter
/in Employee Spotlights /by Ricky DarbeyChloe has been employed with us for over 2 years. She has been such a great asset to our team by being reliable and a strong team player! She comes to work everyday very happy and always has a smile on her face. She is always ready to take on the day! She has really proven her worth, especially in these very different times. This is her graduation year, and like many other seniors, she is unable to celebrate. We made our cafe bulletin board a salute to her for graduating. We would like to recognize Chloe for going above and beyond EVERY day!
Taylor Bataille
/in Employee Spotlights /by Ricky DarbeyFor the last four years, PGA bakery-café employee, Taylor Bataille, has moved up through the ranks of Covelli Enterprises in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. And, as the café’s current Catering Coordinator, the sky is the limit! Taylor took over PGA’s catering role back in the middle of 2018, and has since taken the role very seriously with outstanding dedication and commitment, according to her district director, Marc Manopla. In 2019, Taylor oversaw an 18.2% Catering sales increase. That’s an increase of $48,160 in sales last year at PGA, boosting the cafe into the “$300,000 Club” in overall catering sales. “We are extremely proud of Taylor and cannot wait to see what she does going forward,” said Manopla. Way to go above and beyond expectations, Taylor!”
Jarell Cunningham
/in Employee Spotlights /by Ricky DarbeyStrong closers are critical to the success of a café’s overall performance, and Jarell Cunningham of Cincinnati’s Gilmore bakery-café has got it down to a science! According to his general manager, Danielle Conley, Jarell is a consistent “closing crew star,” and one of her very best! In addition to being a reliable employee that she can count on to own the completion of daily tasks needed to successfully close out daily cafe operations, he’s an outstanding example of “Gold Standard” customer service. “He always has a positive and sunny attitude that translates to each customer he serves, “ said Conley. “And, he is always willing to help out anyone in the café, from associates to customers to managers, with a smile on his face.” THIS is true Panera Warmth, Jarell!
Neil Browder
/in Employee Spotlights /by Ricky DarbeyPanera bakers are the backbone of operations for this brand, and Canton baker, Neil Browder, is no exception! From hundreds of bagels and cookies to bread bowls and croissants, Neil knocks it it out with ease every single night on his third shift gig while the rest of the Canton crew is resting up for standard daily operations the next day. “Neil keeps his standards and his spirit high no matter what is thrown at him,” says Darla Stecz, Bakery Market Manager. “He often goes out of his way to help fellow bakers either in his cafe or neighboring cafes. He is truly a team player, and we are proud to have him on our team.” Thank you, Neil, for your integrity and passionate work ethic!
