Pret A Manger says it is seeing a return of workers to the office in busy city centres.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays were now the busiest for the sandwich chain, Pret boss Pano Christou told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Pret has announced plans to hire 3,000 staff by the end of 2022 after cutting the same number of jobs last year.
Mr Christou said the chain hoped to open 200 more shops in the UK over the next two years.
He added that Pret hoped to expand into five markets overseas by the end of 2023, with many of the new outlets placed in train stations, bus stations and motorway services.
The expansion proposals come as demand from commuters and office workers - a key market for the chain - has started to pick up again after plunging during the Covid lockdowns. pg
The business is now looking to turn that around, despite having to tackle supply chain and heavy goods vehicle (HGV) lorry driver shortages, like many other businesses across the country.
"A couple of weeks ago, we ran out of some prepared fruit for two or three days [and] we were short of a couple of our bread lines for a couple of days," he said.
"I think we will see [the driver shortages] until the end of this year and into next year - there's a real challenge for the industry to navigate through."
