Value proposition

Organic Coffee. Freshly Made Food.

College friends, Sinclair and Julian, opened the first Pret A Manger in London in 1986. It was a shop with a mission to create handmade food, freshly prepared each day. The two of them had woefully little experience in the world of business. They created the sort of food they craved but couldn't find anywhere else.

30 years on, the mission remains unchanged. Pret operates a bit like a restaurant. We build kitchens in (or very near) every shop. You won’t find ‘sell-by’ dates on our fresh sandwiches and salads. Our milk and coffee is organic. We offer our unsold food to charity at the end of each day rather than keeping it to sell the next day.

We believe in good jobs for good people and we're looking for more to join our team. Our wonderful hardworking people make all the difference. They are the heart and soul of our business.
