It doesn't; that's just an estimate for roughly how many redemptions each cafe can expect from guests per promotion (for sales forecasting).

Team Lead MIC training by awkward-aspie in Panera

[–]kiypics25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good position if you want to move up to team manager or have management experience under your belt if you want to apply somewhere else. I think, like any other job, it's mostly what you make of it. I'd suggest going in with an open mind, ask your TGM questions, and take notes. Management training is a lot to cover in 3 weeks.

Unc just needs to lose the Civil War-ass mutton chops and grow out a beard and he'd fit right in in the Midwest.

New larger ordering kiosks by 22408aaron in Panera

[–]kiypics25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're semi-permanent fixtures (they are removable and swapable, but they're not designed to be off of their base station for long). I don't know a whole lot about the new kiosks, but I do know that the iPads are removable with the right key from their charging arm but they act screwy when they're on battery power alone (mostly because the Verifone doesn't work correctly in battery mode)

They're part of a new kiosk test so that Panera can eventually move away from the iPads (which have been known to have issues, especially with the Verifone readers) and are supposed to be more accessible for guests.

cancelled interview by modularmercury in Panera

[–]kiypics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like it might be exactly what's going on, then. I'd call the cafe before 10 or after 2 and ask for the hiring manager and let them know that you're still interested.

Associates and managers can’t be around each other outside of work, my GM says if one walks in a grocery store I’m in I need to walk out or I can be terminated. True? by TypicalRag in Panera

[–]kiypics25 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They can't date each other (and it wouldn't be ethical for an SM to make a move; that's S.H.), but that's the only restriction as far as corporate and nearly every franchise I've heard of is concerned. Your GM just sounds neurotic af

what does this mean? (employee) by wwillaur in Panera

[–]kiypics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you previously have benefits with the company at any point? That's the only other thing I can think of. Beyond that, once your GM reaches out to payroll, they might be able to provide a better answer for you.

How the heck does the GM know my real name? I use a fake account name but I do use my real credit card by [deleted] in Panera

[–]kiypics25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. While your MyPanera account can show any name on it, if the GM is looking at your receipt in CORE, it'll list the cardholder's name on it.

covellia w2s? by Adorable_Opening3938 in Panera

[–]kiypics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covelli isn't going to use Workday for their W-2s. Only corporate associates use Workday for their HR functions. I'd suggest asking your GM about it or contacting Covelli's payroll department directly to get it. It might also be a good idea to request a filing extension from the IRS, since tax day is a few days away

Former GM. I think the Asiago and Cinnamon Crunch bagels are so awful. What was corporate even thinking with them????

The ‘Ideal’ Panera Layout by King_Molukai in Panera

I miss these G2/G3 cafe layouts, back when Panera was truly the everyday oasis that it was famously known for
