Find out how you can get 150 free Pret A Manger hot drinks this month

Times are hard for cafes and restaurants as the vast majority of the nation remain at home to work.

This means sales in places like Pret A Manger have massively slumped as people are no longer nipping out for their breakfast, brunch and lunch coffee.

In an effort to tempt back customers, the chain has just launched the deal of all deals.

For a £20 monthly subscription, people can buy up to five drinks each day at Pret A Manger. That equates to 150 beverages a month - and the first month is free.

The offer will cover all barista-made coffees as well as teas, hot chocolates, smoothies and frappe drinks.

Pano Christou, chief executive officer of Pret, said its coffee sales have grown faster than its food sales since reopening sites as it continues on the path to recovery.

In May, the company, which was bought by JAB Holdings in 2018, expanded into its own branded supermarket coffee products for the first time, launching a range of coffee beans and pre-grounded coffee on Amazon.

Mr Christou said: "As people across the UK begin to get back to the things they've missed, our new subscription service is perfect for customers who have been craving one of our barista-prepared drinks.

"Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or tea devotee, we hope this new service helps you start your day strong.

"This is just the first step in our plan to bring Pret to more people.

"We now have the building blocks to establish Pret as a multi-channel, digitally-led business, and YourPret Barista is the first big launch we're able to deliver through our new technology platform.

The coffee and sandwich shop chain axed 2,800 roles last week after reporting that sales had been significantly hit by low footfall in city centres following the coronavirus pandemic.
