PR Restaurants LLC, DBA Panera Bread, 11 Main St, Ste 5, Westbrook, Maine 04092, is seeking six (6) temporary F/T workers to work in the associate position from 04/01/2026 thru 11/30/2026. The Associate performs the following specific food preparation tasks using delivered pre-cooked, pre-sliced, pre-washed ingredients and standardized, high-speed methods suitable for fast casual dining:

Hot Sandwiches and Paninis: Menu Items: Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, Toasted Frontega Chicken, Turkey Bacon Bravo, Grilled Cheese, and breakfast sandwiches.

Method of Preparation: The Associate views a digital monitor

(Kitchen Display System) for the order. They retrieve pre-sliced breads (e.g., Focaccia, Ciabatta) and assemble the sandwich by stacking pre-cooked/pre-sliced meats and cheeses and applying pre-made sauces from calibrated squeeze bottles. The assembled item is placed in a high-speed contact oven (TurboChef) where the associate presses a preprogrammed button to toast the item for a fixed duration (approx. 45-60 seconds). Once toasted, they add pre-sliced and washed cold produce (lettuce, tomato) and wrap the item.

Salads and Cold Bowls: Menu Items: Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, Green Goddess Cobb, Fuji Apple Salad, Caesar Salad.

Method of Preparation: The Associate uses specific color-coded

scoops to measure pre-washed lettuce blends into a bowl. They add pre-prepped toppings (e.g., precooked diced chicken, grape tomatoes, feta crumbles) using portion-control utensils. They measure the specific dressing into the bowl, toss with tongs to coat, and transfer to a serving container.

3.Soups, Mac & Cheese, and Warm Grain Bowls: Menu Items: Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Creamy Tomato Soup, Bistro French Onion, Mac & Cheese.

Method of Preparation: These items arrive at the facility fully

cooked in vacuum sealed bags. The Associate performs \"thermalizing\" duties by placing the sealed bags in a hot water bath to bring them to serving temperature. They then pour the contents into heated wells on the service line. Upon order, the associate simply ladles the designated portion into a cup or bowl and adds a garnish (e.g., croutons).
Beverages and Smoothies: Menu Items: Iced Green Tea, Lemonade, Espresso drinks, Frozen Fruit Smoothies.

Method of Preparation: The Associate operates automated brewing

equipment for coffee and tea. For smoothies, they place pre-portioned fruit puree and ice into a blender and press a pre-set cycle button. For espresso drinks, they utilize an automated machine that grinds and pulls shots automatically, requiring the associate only to steam milk and pour.

Requirements:

Must be able to stand for prolonged periods of time. Repeated walking, bending, stretching, and occasional lifting of food products and supplies up to 50 pounds. No min. education or experience required. All applicants must be able, willing, and qualified to perform the work described and be available for the specified period.

Terms & Conditions of Employment: \$17.46/hr.; \$26.19 OT/hr. The pay rate may be higher, depending on seniority.

The wage offered equals or exceeds the highest of the prevailing wage or the Federal, State, or local minimum wage. M-F, 6:00 am to 3:00 pm. May need to work a varied schedule that may include weekends and opening/closing shifts. 40 hours a week plus occasional overtime. A single workweek is used to compute wages due, and payment will be made weekly on Monday by check or deposit. The employer will make all the deductions to the worker\'s paycheck as the law requires.

3/4\'s Guarantee: The worker is guaranteed employment for a total number of work hours equal to at least three-fourths of the workdays of each 6-week period.

Transportation: Transportation and subsistence costs from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer to the place of employment, whether in the U.S. or abroad, will be covered by PR Restaurants LLC. Upon completion of the work contract or where the worker is dismissed earlier, the employer will provide or pay for the worker\'s reasonable costs of return transportation and subsistence back home or to the place the worker originally departed to work, except where the worker will not return due to subsequent employment with another employer. The transportation payment or reimbursement amount will equal the most economical and reasonable common carrier for the distances involved.

Daily subsistence will be provided at a rate of \$ 16.28 per day during travel to a maximum of \$68.00 per day with receipts.

Miscellaneous: PR Restaurants LLC will cover all visa processing, border crossing, and other related travel and subsistence fees; the employee will not have to be reimbursed for these expenses. On-the-job training will be provided to perform the duties assigned. Employees will be provided without charge with all tools, supplies, and equipment required to perform the job duties.
