We build kitchens in every shop. We don’t use ‘sell-by’ dates because at the end of every day we offer our unsold food to charity rather than keeping it to sell the next day. We love making fresh, delicious food, and our milk and coffee is 100% organic. Our people are the key to our success, so we are keen to give all of Team Pret the opportunity to develop through the Pret Academy, which ensures the right training, development and support for our wonderful people.br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box;"We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace./span/p/span/p
