Brand Standards Coordinator
Le Pain Quotidien is a chain of bakery-restaurants founded in 1990 by Alain Coumont. Alain was dissatisfied with the quality of the bread being sold in Brussels, so he started experimenting with his own sourdough bread. The sole ingredients: flower, water, salt and time. His concept was a success because in the meantime there are over 200 Le Pain Quotidien restaurants in over 20 countries worldwide.
