The change means the average base pay for shop employees has increased by 19 percent in the year to April.

Average entry-level pay also increased by 15 percent year on year to more than £12, including the brand's Mystery Shopper Bonus.

The raise will be applied to all shop employees, regardless of age, though some exceptions may apply depending on role, experience, and location.

Pret A Manger UK & Ireland interim managing director, Guy Meakin said: “We’re proud to be making another significant investment in our people’s success and wellbeing.

"Whether it’s paying above the National Minimum Wage, providing career development opportunities, or leading the industry on Barista pay we’re committed to making Pret a rewarding and supportive place to work for all our teams and paying the best we can afford to.
