Sainsbury's to cut 3,000 jobs and shut cafés

Sainsbury's has announced it will cut 3,000 jobs by shutting down its remaining cafés as well as closing its patisserie and pizza counters.

The supermarket said the move would "simplify the business", adding that "the majority of Sainsbury's most loyal shoppers do not use the cafés regularly".

Some of the job cuts will also be made at the senior level, with Sainsbury's estimating there will be "an estimated 20% reduction in senior management roles over the next few months".

Sainsbury's chief executive Simon Roberts said the chain was facing "a particularly challenging cost environment which means we have had to make tough choices".
