- How do you motivate your staff and volunteers, to deliver the same level of satisfaction that traditional Panera stores do, when your employee structure is so unorthodox.

As a matter of fact, motivating and working with volunteers is particularly difficult, especially in the absence of the money motive (Powell and Richard 171).
