What ベーカリーショップ店員 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

ベーカリーショップでパンを販売する。
 パンの製造販売には工場で大量生産したものをスーパーマーケット、コンビニエンスストアなどで販売するホールセールベーカリー方式と、店舗の設備でパンを焼き、そこで直接販売するリテールベーカリー方式がある。
 ベーカリーショップ店員の主な仕事は、商品の説明、予約受付等の来店客への応対、レジ、包装、商品の陳列・補充、パンのスライスなどの加工、店の清掃などである。また、イートインスペースのある店舗では、パンとともに飲料の販売なども行っているほか、多少の調理を行うこともある。このため、調理のほか、顧客の座席までの配膳などの業務が加わることもある。
 パンなど単一商品だけでなく、他の食品も販売、店内で食を楽しむことができるベーカリーレストラン、ベーカリーカフェ等もある。
